The newsletter aims to update you with recent key developments which have taken place and to inform you of forthcoming events and opportunities to become involved. Like you, I look forward to the day, hopefully in the not too distant future when wheels will be rolling over the viaduct again as this magnificent piece of engineering is brought back into use as a walking and cycling trail.

  • April/May 2010 No. 3 from West Hallam to Canada… and a Titanic Victim!
    Photo: John James Borebank. April/May 2010 No. 3 From West Hallam to Canada… and a Titanic victim! Born in 1842 in West Hallam, James Borebank was the son of Benjamin Borebank, farmer and his wife Elizabeth. He had two sisters, Ann and Frances who married a pair of brothers who lived literally next door, the sons of Francis Martin, licensee of the Punch Bowl Inn West Hallam. James married on Boxing Day 1866 but sadly his wife Caroline died 13 days later on 08 January 1867. James married again 18 June 1868 to Sarah Milnes of Ockbrook. James and Sarah had seven children born between 1870 and 1881 of which three died in infancy. In 1870 on the death of his father James succeeded to the tenancy of the farm. The 1871 census shows James as farming 96 acres but by 1881 this was down to 9 acres. Giving up farming the family moved to Ilkeston taking on the tenancy of the “Prince of Wales” inn on Bath St. (pg 16 “From Bottom to Top of Town” published by the Society shows the “Prince of Wales” inn: the site is now occupied by Heron Frozen foods.) Sarah died in 1884. Some time between 1885 and 1887 James migrated to Toronto Canada taking 3 children (Frederick, Annie and Hannah) with him but not his eldest son John James who stayed in Ilkeston. James worked for the Toronto Brewing and Malting Company and by 1890 was a brewer. In 1888, James married again to Margaret Ann Leech and had another three children.
