Buxton might be a touristy town famed for its spa water….But it is also boring,cold,rain lashed for most of the year..The sun rarely comes out.The council provide next to no leisure facilities..A refurbishment of the 1970s swimming pool has taken over 18 months to do..Guess what? It looks exactly the same as it did before! The Historic Crescent has been empty and derelict for over 15 yrs..To say things move slowly here is an understatement….The locals are narrow minded,and in the main seem not very intelligent :stare at anything,or anybody who is in any way slightly different…(DO NOT come here if you are black,gay,etc etc !),and seemed to like getting drunk and smashing windows on the market place on a saturday night.Although it purports itself as a cultural area,a lot of the work is provided by the quarries stone quarrying in the area,and associated jobs such as haulage.The town centre is like many others dying on its feet,and full of charity shops..It has a tiny indoor shopping precinct..And thats your lot really! I would say DONT BOTHER IF YOU ARE THINKING OF MOVING HERE!

SMACK crack DOSS BOOZE racist HOMOPHOBIC HELL ignorant INSANE CHAVS scum SHIT HOLE

GEOGRAPHY INTRO

Geographically Ilkeston is situated almost right SMACK bang in the middle of Nottingham and Derbyshire with buses and cars being the only means of transport in and out of this god forsaken hell hole. If I was a god looking down on Ilkeston I would think of it as a horrible infected nipple oozing with all manner of toxins.

GOVERNEMENT PROJECT

I personally think that the whole place has been purposely shut off so that government scientists and other big brother officials can explore and experiment on this project. Yes you heard me correct the place seems infested with zombie like teenagers who seem entranced either by drugs or the television. The Jeremy Kyle show seems to be even recruiting and encouraging most of Ilkestons population onto its program.

DEVOLUTION

Teenagers and even the adults seem shameless and I would even go as far as to call most of them a devolved sub human species. The main reasons for this is that Ilkeston is an ex mining drinking community with so many pubs within such a short proximity to one another. The depleation of brain cells with the inhabitants of Ilkeston is too apparent & obvious. The Epicenter of Ilkeston used to be the Market Square a dingy tacky place. The market that comes every Thursday & Saturday seems to sell all manner of useless cheap and tacky throw away goods.

TESCO

Now the new epicentre of Ilkeston is Tescos Land a huge ice cube like structure situated at the very bottom of the Shit Heap. The thing that interests me in the Tesco’s is that people will often stand in the isles as if they were all meeting up on a street talking and gossiping without any concern for others wanting to get past or to buy an item. Again the supermarkets main seller would be alcohol.

GOOD SPOTS

Ilkeston isn’t all a slum though and in some pockets of it reside the usually old set in their ways, oap’s, without a care about the community they leave behind. Ilkeston also has its very own masonic lodge/hall situated discreetly next to the museum of which tends to offer very little information apart from dwelling on the mundain history of the area. Victoria Park is a beautiful part of Ilkeston but tends to remain un used and neglected. The odd teenager will be seen rolling up a joint near the band stand and at times they can be heard sniggering in bushes up to all manner of things.

MADNESS

After living in Ilkeston for a good 15 years trapped and socially isolated because of being surrounded by peasantry and the wrongly educated I have learn’t much of this vile gloomy place. The whole area would cause many to suffer depression possibly even bipolar due to how the place is so disorganized. Most of the residents if asked to smile would most probably crack in half due to the amount of pressure and effort it would take.

INHABITANTS

Situated in Ilkeston the people all seem to get away to the local seaside resort known as Costa Dell Skegness or Ingoldmells to paddle in the dark toxic coloured sea and now even as displayed a load of wind turbines. Lager louts and men with bright red heads walk around all acting like vikings and wishing they still had it in them to attract one of the local ladettes who even when they all dolled up still hide behind a mask of grotesque deformed monster. In fact most of the women rule Ilkeston so come to Ilkeston if you wish to be sexually assulted by women who afterwards would possibly blame you for assaulting them. 

AREAS 51 PLUS

There are two other areas that surround Ilkeston that are actually the same place in my opinion but each resident of each place would argue with that as they still are very terroritoral in Ilkeston. Its very yorkshire and clicky and anyone who seems to appear decent and well kept would be thrown out like in the slaughted lamb pub in film American Werewolf in London. Areas such as Kirk Hallam are full of inbreds and many of the local mentally disabled all seem to live in that area. Kirk Hallam even has its own made up mafia that try their best to go around causing mayhem but their bark is much worse than their bite unless they let their dogs off their leads to attack the local wildlife ( Yes I even witness a dog rip a duckling to shreads only to amuse the gang )

Cotmanhey aka Grotmanhey is the worst ever part of Ilkeston and one could get high even walking through the area. Don’t even think about attending one of the clubs in the area without being harrassed or given daggers by the locals. Do not walk around the area at night bad things can happen, vampires and all other creatures walk the streets or drunken retards whats the difference. Kids would even possibly call you a peado for even looking their way and you would end up with some parent hunting you down with BB gun.

Work & Prospects

The Job Centre in Ilkeston seems to be activily encouraging unemployment with lack of support and resources given to those who show any interest in looking for employment. The only jobs availble in ilkeston would be dead end mundane things such as shelf packing and other low paid soul destroying retail jobs or factory work. Some areas of Ilkeston are more for those who live beyond their means and commute in which they have to travel to their jobs and never even spend much time in the homes they paying thousands on.

CONCLUSION

To Conclude things, if the Erewash council would stop being so corrupt and putting money into things that don’t seem to benefit the area things might change. If they built more community centres and support groups then all of the crack addicts and dole dossers mights be able to get somewhere and better themselves. More industry needs to be developed in the area instead of lots of buildings for commuters. Lastly a Railway station needs to be developed also so that people can put their suitcases in to get away and escape.
