Template:GBdot Ollerton is a town in Nottinghamshire, England, on the edge of the Sherwood Forest. Its main industry was historically coal mining, and the town expanded greatly during the 1960s and 1970s. A miner died in a demonstration at the mine during the Miners' Strike in 1984. The mine finally closed in 1994.
The land around the mine has been reclaimed and is to be redeveloped as an ecologically sustainable "village".
