The Stanton Iron Works, south of Ilkeston, was once a major employer in Ilkeston and had a considerable network of internal railways. Although the works still survive under the French company, Saint Gobain, it is very much smaller. One of the company's wagons has been placed on this roundabout along the town centre relief road as a reminder of past glories. Ironically it is virtually on the site of one of Ilkeston's former three stations, Ilkeston Town, which closed in 1947. The quantity of shrubbery on the roundabout has been considerably reduced since this photograph was taken.
