More about this scene
The originally 14th-century pinnacled tower of St Mark's parish church watches over Ilkeston's wide Market Place, with the town's war memorial in the foreground. Double-decker buses wait to take their passengers to Derby and Kirk Hallam, and parking was yet to become a problem in the 1950s.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them."- Laurence Binyon, For The Fallen
