Anyway, a query from Jack Hallam, via the main website? "Have you any info on Smalley Common? As a boy I seem to remember a Gas Holder and Shop selling gas mantles/cookers located on the left hand side of the road approaching the Rose and Crown cross roads from Ilkeston. It was the last house/shop before the cross roads and the building was set at an angle facing towards Ilkeston. Now have I dreamt it or was it there? I cannot ever remember seeing any form of Gas making plant there but the ground around was always unkept as if something had been there." Has anyone got any similar recollections?
