{"product_id":"the-history-of-ilkeston-richard-pearson-9780244156473","title":"The History of Ilkeston","description":"Ilkeston is a town within the Borough of Erewash, in Derbyshire, England. It lies on the River Erewash, from which the local borough takes its name. Its population at the 2001 census was 37,550, increasing to 38,640 at the 2011 Census. Its major industries were traditionally coal mining, iron working and lace making \/ textiles, but these have all but disappeared in the last few decades. Ilkeston was probably founded in the 6th century AD, and gets its name from its supposed founder, Elch or Elcha, who was an Anglian chieftain (\"Elka's Tun\" = Elka's Town). The town appears as Tilchestune in the Domesday Book when it was owned principally by Gilbert de Ghent. Gilbert also controlled nearby Shipley, West Hallam and Stanton by Dale. Ilkeston was created a borough by Queen Victoria in 1887.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Pearson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0244156476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780244156473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Richard Pearson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47757232472319,"sku":"9780244156473","price":24.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_471912af-609a-4f8b-8585-c39f7f34b2de.jpg?v=1765510085","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-history-of-ilkeston-richard-pearson-9780244156473","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
