Lead is disappearing in Tonbridge



While walking along the riverside path I noticed that the lead flashings on the Pizza Express wall had been heavily vandalised. Kent has seen a recent spate of lead being stripped and stolen from buildings, and Tonbridge has not been spared. Only last month I heard that the lead flashings from the roof of the Castle Council Chambers were taken, and one of the town's schools was also a victim.  In September the lead flashings were taken from a hall roof in Lyons Crescent, and October also saw lead disappearing from the roof of an office building in East Street and a shop in the High Street.

Could the photo above show a bungled attempt at a spot of lead pilfering?
