Leadlock onto the lead then into copper/plastic.

Could have someone solder a copper stub into the end of the lead pipe, most modern plumbers probably wouldn't touch it, due to lack of skill and training, I guess its one of those things that just been forgotten due to lead becoming less common.
 
You're not supposed to use solder ( Grade D) on mains now ,not up here anyway.

Which pipes are exactly lead?

Is it not just as easy to replace them with more modern materials?
