Just in case you’re looking for a Christmas gift for someone from Ilkeston or around, look no further: We’re opening door number five of the Calvendo Advent calendar to one of artist Stephen Millership’s vintage-style illustrations of Ilkeston.

Here’s what you can see when you look above you in Carlisle Cathedral. Loving the colours!
