Dronfield
Dronfield is a town in North East Derbyshire in the North Midlands area of England. It is composed of 3 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 covers 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 easy access to the Peak District National Park, which is 3 miles away. It is believed that the town was in existence preceding the 1086 Domesday Book, and it has a 12th-century parish church. Dronfield has a history of production, with coal mining, the wool trade, the production of soap and steel, and engineering being the most prominent markets. Many production firms continue to work within the town. The population of Dronfield has actually gone through notable expansion since the post-war years, going from 6500 in 1945 to 21000 in 2011. This is to some extent the result of the town's position as a dormitory area for workers from close-by Chesterfield and Sheffield. The town is said to be home to the largest independently owned housing estate in Europe, called Gosforth Valley, when it was built in the 1970s. Even after development and modernisation, the town has preserved its ancient character, with many historic buildings staying undamaged. Occupants have a lot of options for shopping at independent and commercial chain shops, visiting libraries and going to 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 sure to make use of respected contractors in Dronfield to make certain of quality.
