Description: This is a view of a May Day procession proceeding South along Cotmanhay Road, prior to the construction of the tramway. Cotmanhay Road Infants (later Bennerley) School is visible on the right, on the corner of Bennerley Avenue. To the left, behind the maypole, is the opening of the later Milton Street. Right of centre, beyond the school, are the end houses of Wheatley Row, one of very few 'back-to-back' terraces in Ilkeston. They were cleared c.1905-1910 and Richmond Avenue was laid out on the site.
