Dronfield is a town in North East Derbyshire in the North Midlands area of England. It is comprised of 3 communities, which are Dronfield, Dronfield Woodhouse and Coal Aston.

Being in close proximity to the Pennines, Dronfield also has quick access to the Peak District National Park, which is 3 miles away. It is thought that the town was in existence previous to the 1086 Domesday Book, and it has a 12th-century parish church. Dronfield has a background of production, with coal mining, the wool trade, the production of soap and steel, and engineering being the most popular trades. Some production firms continue to work within the town. The population of Dronfield has undergone considerable expansion ever since the post-war years, going from 6500 in 1945 to 21000 in 2011. This is in part the effect of the town's position as a dormitory area for employees from nearby Chesterfield and Sheffield. The town is said to be home to the most extensive independently owned housing estate in Europe, called Gosforth Valley, when it was built in the 1970s. In spite of growth and modernisation, the town has preserved its ancient character, with several historic structures staying intact. Occupants have plenty of options for shopping at independent and commercial chain shops, visiting libraries and joining leisure centres. The world's oldest football team, Sheffield F. C., is based in the football stadium to the north of the town. For all your house upgrades, make certain to make use of reputable experts in Dronfield to make certain of quality.
