Beans and Bacon, Old Eye, Fiery Dragon and Cod Beat lead mines and a limekiln 480m south of Blakelow Farm is a complex of extractive industrial remains located in Derbyshire. The site comprises evidence of lead mining activity alongside a limekiln, dating from the post-medieval period when lead extraction formed a significant part of regional mineral exploitation. The multiple named mine workings indicate a substantial operation across the landscape, with the associated limekiln reflecting the broader industrial infrastructure required to support mineral processing and related activities in this area.
