Lead has been commonly used for thousands of years because it is easy to extract and easy to work with. In Alchemy lead was thought to be the oldest metal and was associated with planet Saturn.

Lead has long played an important role in traditional building. Lead roofing is amongst the most durable materials on the market and lead roofs constructed as far back as the 18th century are still in use today.
