High Rake Mine is a lead and fluorite mining site located in Derbyshire, dating to the post-medieval and industrial periods. The mine represents significant evidence of mineral extraction activity in the Peak District, where lead mining was a major economic enterprise from medieval times through the nineteenth century. The site preserves physical remains characteristic of underground working methods employed during its period of operation, including evidence of both traditional hand-mining techniques and later mechanised extraction. High Rake Mine stands as part of the broader archaeological and industrial heritage of Derbyshire's mining landscape, documenting the region's long history of metal extraction and processing.
