Stanton - gone but not forgotten. This item is unavailable.Stanton - gone but not forgotten

For almost two centuries, Stanton Ironworks dominated the industrial scene in the Erewash Valley, and provided employment for thousands. At its height the works covered an area of 3 square miles; its associated collieries, ore quarries and other facilities were important throughout the East Midlands. This is a concise history of the rise and decline of the business, profusely illustrated by photographs (many not published before) and drawing on recollections from the workforce. This is a publication of the Ilkeston Local History Society, and the foreword is by actor Robert Lindsay - local lad and sometime Stanton employee.
