Lees and Dove Rakes, Booth Lee Pipes and Sterndale Sough is a complex of lead and fluorspar mining features located in Derbyshire. The site comprises interconnected mining infrastructure including soughs (drainage adits), rakes (veins worked by mining), and associated pipes that date primarily to the medieval and post-medieval periods, reflecting centuries of mineral extraction in this intensely worked mining landscape. The soughs represent significant engineering achievements, designed to drain water from the deeper workings and allow exploitation of ore at greater depths. These features constitute important archaeological evidence of the industrial history and mining technology employed in the Derbyshire lead and fluorspar industry.
