Harrybecca Mine was originally worked for lead, and later re-worked for fluorspar. As unusual as the name, there are sections of the mine that were not modified by the fluorspar workings, and evidence of the old techniques of firesetting are still there to be found by the careful observer (ref. Peak District Mines Historical Society). Harrybecca mine has recently been the subject of a detailed study into firesetting in Derbyshire Mines (Barnatt & Worthington).
