15 tonnes of Midland Lead’s rolled lead was specified for the re-roofing of Hampton Court Palace’s Georgian House.

Originally the kitchens for George, Prince of Wales, who later became King George II, the imposing and elegant 18th Century building was constructed on the alley leading to Henry VIII’s Real Tennis Court at the Palace.

Midland Lead’s product was used to complete the roof and lead hopper under the guttering, and the contractor also melted down the rolled lead to create decorative work.
