Coatesville is full of delight with its friendly atmosphere and tranquil setting.
Today it is a vibrant community with a wonderful school, still holding its annual agricultural day despite the city closing in. The school and community pool are an enormous asset and the community hall has been wonderfully restored and is lovingly maintained.
The hall is a centre not only for community activity (the market, Garden Club, Women’s' Institute, scouts and cubs) but also a popular venue for weddings and parties.
The market which is held on the first Sunday each month plus a twilight market in December has proved to be extremely popular, not only with locals but also with visitors coming from far and wide.
Coatesville has its own village centre with garage and dairy, a real estate agency, two.
