Reviews:

'There is a wealth of information illustrated in this book, and having read it, many readers will doubtless be tempted to read the associated volumes linked to the Ilkeston area which are referenced in the text. This is recommended reading.'
(Review - The Journal of the Friends of the National Railway Museum, No.168, Summer 2019)

'This is another excellent Middleton volume covering the Notts/Derbys coalfield area.'
(SLS Journal - The Journal of the Stephenson Locomotive Society, March/April 2019, No.916, Vol.95)
