Cotes, Leicestershire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cotes is a small hamlet near the town of Loughborough in Leicestershire, England.
It lies on the River Soar, and Cotes Bridge provides the main bridging point in that area. The A60 Trunk Road goes over Cotes Bridge on its way out of Loughborough towards Nottingham. The B676 road is the only other significant nearby road, which begins at the A60 just to the east of Cotes Bridge and goes off towards the village of Burton on the Wolds.
The medieval village of Cotes was abandoned, presumably due to Plague, although a hall remained at Cotes for some time.
During the English Civil War there was a battle at Cotes Bridge.
The population of the hamlet is roughly 50.
