Hale Road contains some of the finest surviving Victorian slate and clay tile roofing in Farnham. Many properties retain original Welsh slate in structurally sound condition — it's the nail fixings that have corroded over 120 years, not the slates themselves. Re-nailing rather than full replacement is almost always the right answer here, and preserving original material is both the correct and most cost-effective approach.
