I also had one such lead with a metal-clad "Niphan/Clang" 15-amp plug for theatres and British Rail sites who seemed to have a persistent attachment to such outlets.
I still have a Walsall to 13a adaptor, used it last year at the midland hotel in Manchester when I was working on an event there. Can't believe I actually had a Walsall plug in my tool box, let alone actually found somewhere that actually had a live socket for one
