Due to recent development it is now difficult to tell where Coalpit Heath begins and Frampton Cotterell to the north west ends. "[Coalpit Heath] was founded as a coal mining settlement. One pit was on Frog Lane at ST 685 815 (to the north east of the village). Other mines operated between Mays Hill and Nibley to the north and at Ram Hill and Henfield to the south. These were served by a railway line, closed some decades ago and no longer visible on the ground. In 1949 the coal ran out, and since then it has become a sought after place to live, with fields and easy accommodation." The above was copied from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalpit_Heath
