Gregory mine is an old Lead mine which appears to have been worked from the early 1700s and certainly continuously from 1734 to 1803. In it's time it was one of the most productive Lead mines in Derbyshire. Little currently remains of the original mine with the only structure still left standing being a chimney.

In its hay day the mine was said to have produced over 500 tonnes of ore a year and was very profitable. However, towards the end of the 18th century the main vein was exhausted and despite the discovery of a new vein it's extraction was deemed not financially viable and the mine closed in 1803.
