Lady's Rake lead mine is a lead extraction site located in County Durham, England, dating to the post-medieval period when lead mining became economically significant in the Pennine regions. The mine represents the industrial exploitation of mineral resources during the early modern era, reflecting the growing demand for lead in construction, plumbing, and other applications. The physical remains of the site include evidence of mining workings characteristic of pre-industrial extraction methods, which would have involved both surface and subsurface operations typical of small-scale lead mines of the period.
