Cotgrave was one of the most southerly coal mining villages in the Nottinghamshire coal fields opened in the 1960s. A huge National Coal Board owned housing estate was built to the south and east of the village to accommodate hundreds of "immigrant" miners from the closing Scottish and North Eastern mines.
