Beans and Bacon, Old Eye, Fiery Dragon and Cod Beat lead mines and a limekiln 480m south of Blakelow Farm is a group of former extractive industrial sites located in Derbyshire. The monument comprises multiple lead mines and an associated limekiln, representing the mineral extraction activities that characterised the Derbyshire Peak District from the medieval period onwards. The lead mines exemplify the region's long tradition of non-ferrous metal exploitation, whilst the limekiln demonstrates the complementary lime-burning industries that supported local construction and agricultural practices. These remains form part of the extensive archaeological evidence of Derbyshire's significant role in English lead production.
