Newburgh Level at Red Rake Mine is a drainage adit associated with the lead and fluorite mining operations in the Derbyshire Peak District. The level represents an important example of early industrial mining infrastructure, characteristic of the mineral extraction methods employed in this region during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The adit functioned as a horizontal shaft designed to drain water from the mine workings and provide access to ore deposits at depth. The site survives as a physical remnant of Derbyshire's significant mining heritage and industrial development during this period.
