Description

Here you see an old water butt still in use today and made of lead. The year on it is 1768. With the stealing of any metal including stripping of lead off church roofs, going on at present, its a wonder that it is still there on the sea front at Lyme Regis in Doset, UK.

Makes you wonder, why anybody in their right mind, would destroy something so beautiful and historical - is there nothing sacred anymore? - 'nuff said! brill find, Jeff BB
