Ollerton, in Nottinghamshire, had a population of around 11,100 at the 2021 census — a village on the edge of Sherwood Forest that was reshaped by coal in the 20th century.
A Dukeries village shaped by forest and coal
Ollerton lies at the edge of Sherwood Forest, in an area known as the Dukeries after the string of ducal estates that once surrounded it. The older village, clustered around its church and mill, was joined in the 20th century by "New Ollerton", built up rapidly around a colliery that worked the Nottinghamshire coalfield.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Ollerton shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent — no trip into Mansfield or Newark-on-Trent required.
