Cokeworth is a fictional, grimy industrial town in the English Midlands, characterized by factories, a dirty river, and terraced workers' houses, serving as the backdrop for key events involving Snape, Lily, and Petunia Dursley before Harry's time, and where the Dursleys tried to hide from Hogwarts letters.
