1/ Hello, I am Beth Griffiths, a PhD candidate and ex-tinplate employee. I am going to talk about the links between the steel and tinplate industries, the changing role of women within the tinplate works and the industry's fight for survival during the last forty years. #SWOS20 Image 2/ Steel must be used as a base for tinplate to be made. The steel manufacturer and hot rolled coil (H.R.C.) processor is normally the same plant but not necessarily. With a global company the steel could be made in India and the H.R.C. could be processed in south Wales. #SWOS20 Image
