Updated june 2016 - original notice board removed- new formula. Cottingham, in East Yorkshire, is reputedly the largest village, in population terms, in England and can trace its roots back to Anglo Saxon times. It is now mainly a feeder village for Hull, with a high proportion of retired residents. The modern village has two main shopping streets, Hallgate and King Street which cross each other: A market is held on Market Green on Thursday Cottingham is used by the University of Hull as the site of several of its accommodation campuses: The Lawns to the north-west of the village; and Thwaite Hall, and Needler's Hall, both built on the grounds of late 18th century merchant's house

Cottingham Springboard Festival takes place over three days each May, with live music in public houses from mainly local and regional acts
