Portal of Hillcarr Sough, Darley Dale Set back from the River Derwent, into which its water flows, is the portal or tail of Hillcarr Sough, one of the most important mine drainage levels within the Derbyshire lead mining area. The total length, including its many branches, is approximately 4.5 miles. Begun in 1766 it took twenty one years to reach the mines and cost about £32,000, which was a huge sum in those days. Because of the great depth beneath Stanton Moor, there were few air shafts sunk during its construction which caused ventilation problems. Ultimately it was hugely successful, allowing mining at depth in the mines around Alport and Youlgreave. Exploration in the late 70s, in chest deep water, revealed beautiful gritstone arching which was carried for some distance from the portal but shortly after this ends, there has been a roof fall over which the water now roars. A rusty link on the portal's keystone was once visible and used to tie boats up during and after construction.
