Dronfield
Dronfield is a town in North East Derbyshire in the North Midlands area of England. It is formed of three neighborhoods, which are Dronfield, Dronfield Woodhouse and Coal Aston. It lies in the valley of the River Drone, and sits in 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 convenient access to the Peak District National Park, which is 3 miles away. It is supposed that the town was in existence preceding 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 markets. Many manufacturing firms continue to work within the town. The population of Dronfield has undergone notable growth 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 town for employees from surrounding 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 constructed in the 1970s. Even after growth and modernisation, the town has actually maintained its ancient character, with various historic structures staying unscathed. Residents have plenty of opportunities for shopping at independent and commercial chain shops, visiting libraries and attending 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 sure to make use of reputable specialists in Dronfield to make certain of quality.
