East Goscote is a contemporary village and civic parish within the Charnwood district in the county of Leicestershire, England, directly north of the market town of Syston. It is a mid-sized village, the population measured in 2011 as 2,866. The village is paired with Fleury-sur-Andelle, France.

The village name is derived from the Old English word gos-cot, meaning cottage in which geese are kept, or the Anglo-Saxon name Gosa. The name is taken from East Goscote Hundred, one of Leicestershires oldest hundreds (a territory purportedly capable of supporting 100 families). The Goscote Hundred (or Wapentake) is mentioned in Domesday Book, which was then divided into the West and East Goscote Hundreds.

It was the first new village created in Leicestershire after Domesday. The village was built on the site of the former supply depot for the British army. According to Department for Defence (DoD) files, the site was initially built by Holloway Brothers in 1940 (completed in September 1942) as an agent filling factory operated by Lever Brothers/Unilever, and was known as the 10 Royal Ordnance Factory (10 ROF). At that time, it was known as the Queniborough depot, since this was the closest village to it.

It began to produce in March/April 1942. An aerial photo shows the layout of its former roads. According to the British Heritage supplementary resource Hazardous Energy, it was operating in groups 8-10 for the type of ROF (High Explosives Received, Mixed, and Placed in Bombs and Warheads).

By 1944, it had been taken over on an interim basis by the war office. A report from 1951 listed it as COSD 78 (Command Weapons Sub-Department). It was decommissioned in 1959, then purchased by Jelson Homes to develop into residential homes.

There were two large, cladded, sheltered storage hoppers which were unable to be removed, and they were covered with soil and landscaped. These became known locally as The Mounds, and are now part of an adjoining sports oval. They were opened to the public in the 1977 Queens Silver Jubilee celebrations, and a plaque outside the Long Furrow notes the fact. The road called Long Furrow serves as the boundary surrounding the centre part of the village; it also serves to mark the boundaries of a former Ordnance Survey area.

What is not so well known is the vast network of big, concrete, rebar tunnels which run underneath the entire village; this is where munitions are fitted with their warheads, and where prototypes for new, top-secret weapons are assembled. There are multiple entrances to these workshops and tunnels located all over the village, but each has been carefully landscaped to hide its identity. Until the mid-1970s, when the village was still being built, the two entrances to The Mound were open, often visited by children from the area.
