Description: Abbey Street was a dead-end road largely comprising terraced houses on the north side of Ilkeston, running westwards off Lower Bloomsgrove Road. This views shows Nos 16-23 and is looking south-east with Ilkeston Gasworks visible in the background. The gasworks with its slight art deco touches and prominent instruction to 'USE GAS' was demolished in 1967 and the houses too were later pulled down, leaving Abbey Street today uninhabited.
