Cotmanhay is a village and the northernmost area of Ilkeston in Derbyshire, England. [2] [3] [4] Formerly a Viking settlement, Cotmanhay is located in the Erewash Borough Council area and had a population of 4,531 in 2011. [1]

The village's two main industries were textiles and coal mining, the latter from 1848 until 1880. Recently, a flint implement was found at the edge of Cotmanhay Wood, indicating that the area had been inhabited several thousand years ago. [5]

The 2019 Multiple deprivation index found the area around Skeavingtons Lane to be the most deprived area in Derbyshire. [6] [7]
