Northern Dale lead mines is a complex of lead mining workings located in Derbyshire in the East Midlands of England. The mines represent medieval and post-medieval extraction activity, with evidence of ore processing and underground working characteristic of lead mining operations in the Peak District, a region historically significant for metal production. The site comprises surface features including mining pits, spoil heaps, and associated infrastructure that document the development of lead extraction techniques over several centuries. The workings form part of the broader medieval mining heritage of the Derbyshire lead field, which supplied ore to both local and distant markets during the medieval period and beyond.
