Litfield Farm is a farm in Ridgeway, Derbyshire. The farm was once regarded as being located in a hamlet east of Ridgeway known as Litfield, but is now part of the larger settlement. The farmhouse is a 17th-century Grade II listed building.Litfield, or variations of the name, are mentioned as early as the 15th century, when the name appears on the Eckington Manorial Court Rolls. Due to various families, most notable of which was the Staniforth family, being mentioned in relation to the place, it is likely that Litfield was a loose term applied to the area surrounding the farmhouse. The farmhouse appears to have been in the possession of the Staniforth family for centuries. On 24 April 1587, Robert Sitwell transferred the land to Ralph Staniforth. During the 17th century, a William Staniforth was resident at the farmhouse. The farmhouse eventually passed down to George Staniforth of Barlborough. In 1828, the property is divided following the death of George Staniforth and was sold. In 1842 the Parker family was recorded as residing at the property. Upon its proposed sale in 1859, the Litfield freehold estate of 30 acres consisted of the farmhouse and associated buildings, and also five cottages.Although the house retains most of its original features, it was renovated in 2006.

Coal Aston Airfield (ICAO: EGCA), also known as Apperknowle Airstrip, is a general aviation airfield located in the village Apperknowle, Derbyshire, 5.8 mi (9.3 km; 5.0 nmi) south of Sheffield. The unlicensed airfield is just south of a ridge of high ground to the north-east of Dronfield, close to the villages of Summerley, Apperknowle and Coal Aston. There has been a Coal Aston airfield since the World War I, though not here; RAF Coal Aston was on what is now the Jordanthorpe estate in south-east Sheffield, 1.7 miles (2.7 km; 1.5 NM) to the north-west. By the late 1920s this had become a civil field which promised, until World War II, to become Sheffield's airport. The airfield is operated from an on-site farmhouse and prior permission is required for landing. Its single strip grass runway is 660 m long and not entirely flat, with a dip in the middle and a hump at the eastern end. The older hangar at Coal Aston is a Blister-type hangar, a type made familiar during the interwar years. It was erected by United Steel Companies Limited (later British Steel) in 1961. The runway was then at its maximum length of around 800 m; it was reduced to 660 m in 2015. A second hangar was erected in the 1980s next to the blister. In 1995, the airstrip achieved permanent permission for use as an airfield; it is now one of the last remaining traditional grass airfields in Derbyshire. A public footpath follows the northern and western perimeter of the airfield. There is no public right of way across the site. Overnight parking of aircraft is possible and hangarage is available in one of the two hangars on site. A range of aircraft types may be accepted to the airfield at the owners' discretion. On 28 May 2017, Europa G-NDOL crashed on Summerley Road, several hundred meters short of the runway in the nearby village of Summerley, while on final approach to Coal Aston Airfield. The pilot, its owner and sole occupant, was killed in the accident.

Apperknowle is a village in Derbyshire, England. The village is located on the Southwestern slopes of a flat-topped ridge at about 200 m above sea level. The village overlooks the town of Dronfield and the villages of Unstone (where the population is listed) and Unstone Green in the valley bottom, where the River Drone and the Midland Railway are located. Above the village is a small grass airstrip that used to belong to British Steel, and is now used for private planes with a couple of new hangars built in the 1980s. Apperknowle gains its name from the Old English word Apelknol, meaning 'Apple Tree Hill'. Set up on the hills it looks down upon Dronfield and the Drone Valley and offers some panoramic views across the countryside towards the Peak District. There is also a local Methodist Church, which was opened in 1879 to replace an earlier building. It is the only place of worship in the village and often hosts visiting preachers from other local churches in and around the Sheffield area. The villages used to have 3 pubs and a post office, but only 1 pub survives now. Opposite the "Travellers Rest" pub is a cricket pitch (home to Apperknowle Cricket Club) that slopes down the valley and has a good view of the surrounding Derbyshire countryside. There is a Victorian school house, which used to be the local primary school until it was shut down in July 2008. There is no significant industrial activity in the village now. It acts as a commuter village for the local towns and the Chesterfield and Sheffield areas. Originally the village grew from miners working the various coal outcrops, and small farms. There is evidence of old pits in the surrounding woods, and several old spoil heaps.
