Park Avenue on the left (2 mins away from Park Cemetery) is seen here joining Park Road with the single storey "Sudbury Memorial Homes" (almshouse) at the junction. These were built in 1910 as a memorial to Francis Sudbury Jnr., who was born in Ilkeston in 1842 and elected Ilkeston's first Mayor in 1887. Francis Sudbury Snr. was a hosiery and glove manufacturer.
