King William Square
When photographed ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday/dblock/GB-440000-351000/picture/1 ) for the BBC's Domesday Project this area of Ironville (rebuilt circa. 1979) was called The King William IV Centre.
Since then the area has undergone further redevelopment (nearby signage suggests circa. 2006) and some of the buildings seen in the Domesday photograph have been removed.

Parking area near King William Square
Although not the same prospect this area of Ironville was photographed for the BBC's Domesday Project. Since then the area has undergone some redevelopment. The date in the ironwork ahead, at the end of the footpath, suggests that this happened circa. 2006. Some of the buildings seen in the Domesday photograph have been removed.
This photograph was taken from the approximate location of the demolished King William Public House. The stones in the foreground, on the paved area, are cobbles.

Parson's Cottage, Ironville
Formerly The Poplars, built c.1850 in Tudor Revival style, Listed Grade II. Despite the current name, it doesn't appear to have been connected with the church. The Vicarage was a different building.
There is a benchmark http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5991771 on the right hand buttress of the church.
