Cotmanhay sits to the east of Ilkeston in the borough of Erewash, Derbyshire, England. It grew up as a working‑class area tied to the coal and industrial economy of the East Midlands, and still shows that history in stretches of Victorian terraces and post‑war council housing; the neighbourhood lies close to the Erewash Canal and the River Erewash, with good road links toward Derby and Nottingham.

Today Cotmanhay mixes a strong local community and volunteer activity with ongoing regeneration efforts: schools, community centres and sports clubs play a visible role, while local schemes aim to tackle deprivation and improve housing and green space. The area is often described as a place with a proud industrial past that is gradually being reshaped by investment and grassroots initiatives.
