True Blue nucleated lead mine is a scheduled ancient monument located approximately 600 metres east-south-east of Magpie Mine in Derbyshire. The site represents evidence of lead mining activity in the Peak District, a region with a long history of mineral extraction dating from the medieval period onwards. The mine workings at True Blue comprise surface features typical of nucleated mining operations, where multiple shafts and associated spoil heaps cluster around a central worked area. The precise dating of the site's initial exploitation remains uncertain, though the character of its remains suggests activity during the early modern period of English lead mining development.
