I believe this article has been subject to many small, unstructured additions producing an incoherent and somewhat unintelligible read. The information in the main body is delivered in a short and almost truncated manner for the most part, explicating very little as the topics progress. Secondly, half of the text under “History” relates very loosely to history; distinct sections relating explicitly to their own content may solve this.
Any ideas?

Hi, I've started a revamp (hope I've not used too many templates... :-)). I could use with some help, if anybody out there knows about Dronfield (and if anyone knows a reliable source it would be appreciated). I'll attempt to input things as time goes and I've requested some pictures, which I might end up getting myself.-- Steven Weston 13:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi - I note that Dronfield is described as a market town, yet in the list of market towns on wikipedia it is not listed as one. Nor does the sign say 'Market Town' when entering Dronfield - something the Chesterfield sign 'does' say. Can we assume the article is in error? -- Joseph.w.berry ( talk) 18:14, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Why is the map that is shown the South Yorkshire one, when Dronfield is in Derbyshire, which means the caption to the map is incorrect (it isn't "within South Yorkshire" at all)? DDStretch (talk) 01:31, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Made a start on the section with list of firms and brief descriptions. Need to find article on William Lees / Cammels ? for foundry from local history articles to fill out detail. As iron works was responsible for major expansion of the town.
The Railways arrival, and old Lucas works also could be added if some details of dates Known.
(Also amended Dronfield school entry as read as if all school burnt down which it did not !!) -- BulldozerD11 ( talk) 02:47, 4 June 2008 (UTC) ______________________
How do you reply to this - never been on here before? With regard to Wilson Cammell works, for several years this was the most efficient steelworks in the world. Recognised in the US and beyond for quality and efficiency/rate of output. Mr. Ford (teacher at Fanshawe School) wrote a good book about it, you may find a copy in Dronfield or Sheffield library (its just a thin A5-size paperback with yellow cover). Also, what about John Virgo in the Famous People section, IIRC at some point he lived up at Hilltop somewhere, my mate once delivered him a pizza and he answered the door in his dressing gown..
Apologies if this is not the correct way to post information.. (User: Yenko sYc)
There's a line in this article (and also in the one on Dronfield Woodhouse) whixh claims that when the Gosforth Valley estate was being constructed it was the "largest privately owned housing estate in Europe". Does anyone have any verification of this, which can be used as a reference to back up the claim? I grew up in Dronfield and heard this claim then - as did my parents - but we don't know where it came from. If a reliable source for this info can't be found, I'm inclined to remove this claim from both articles, as it could be nothing more than an urban myth (pun intended :) ).
