Maury Mine and Sough is a lead mining complex located in Derbyshire that represents the region's long tradition of metal extraction. The site comprises both underground workings and an associated drainage sough, a horizontal adit constructed to facilitate water removal from the mine and enable deeper exploitation of ore deposits. Lead mining in Derbyshire intensified during the medieval and early modern periods, with many soughs constructed from the sixteenth century onwards to overcome the practical challenges of groundwater in deeper shafts. The physical remains at Maury exemplify the engineering solutions developed by miners to sustain productive operations across successive centuries of extraction.
