This site takes you on a walk around Victorian Ilkeston, with Adeline Wells as guide, and myself as provider of supplementary history.

In the 1930’s Adeline wrote a series of letters to the Ilkeston Advertiser, describing her life in the town as a child and these help us navigate our route around the area and introduce us to its main characters.
