"Carnival" In the 1900s Ilkeston Carnival was a major event held about this time of year. Even in the 2000s organised by volunteers it was held early in June most years often with a procession at times travelling all the way from the end of Cotmanhay. The last one was held in 2018 but there hasn't been a carnival in the town since the COVID lockdown. This photo from 2010 shows the expectant onlookers lining Bath Street as the first vehicle approached Lower Bath Street. The Latest Images page this week also features the 'Bottom of Town". |
