For almost 300 years, south Wales has been the focal point of the British tinplate industry, with the Pontypool rolling mill an innovative catalyst for tinplate manufacture. Founded in 1874 near Cwmbrân was Tynewydd tinplate works. @RC_Archives #TinplateTuesday 1/4
Founded in 1874 next to Pontnewydd railway station by Batchelor and Co (or Charles Roberts) Tynewydd passed through a number of owners before becoming part of the Redbrook Tinplate Co. of Monmouth. 2/4 coflein.gov.uk/en/site/415481…
Later becoming part of Linpac, the tinplate works closed c.1961 but its subsidiary stamping factory – Pontnewydd Tin Stamping Co. – seems to have carried on until c.1966. The site has been cleared and has been re-used for light industry. 3/4
