Dronfield
Dronfield is a town in North East Derbyshire in the North Midlands area of England. It is formed of three communities, which are Dronfield, Dronfield Woodhouse and Coal Aston. It lies in the valley of the River Drone, and sits between the town of Chesterfield and the city of Sheffield. Dronfield encompasses an area of 3457 acres, and the A61 trunk road, Dronfield-Unstone Bypass, cuts through the town. Being in close proximity to the Pennines, Dronfield also has convenient 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 manufacturing, with coal mining, the wool trade, the production of soap and steel, and engineering being the most popular business sectors. Multiple manufacturing firms continue to work within the town. The population of Dronfield has gone through considerable expansion since the post-war years, going from 6500 in 1945 to 21000 in 2011. This is partly the effect of the town's position as a dormitory town for employees from neighboring Chesterfield and Sheffield. The town is said to be home to the most extensive privately owned housing estate in Europe, called Gosforth Valley, when it was constructed in the 1970s. Despite development and modernisation, the town has kept its ancient character, with many historical structures remaining untouched. Occupants have a lot of opportunities for shopping at independent and commercial chain shops, visiting libraries and joining leisure centres. The world's earliest football team, Sheffield F. C., is based in the football ground to the north of the town. For all your house upgrades, make certain to make use of reputable contractors in Dronfield to make certain of quality.
