Kidwelly tinplate works, photograph

Worsley, Roger (Photographer)

Photograph captioned 'Cydweli Tinplate Works. Small bogies of different types, which ran on narrow gauge rails within the works, were used for different purposes in the old type works. Some carried the steel bars before they were rolled, others the rolled plates, and the open type seen in the photograph carried the plates after tinning to the finishing departments.' Mounted on card. Made for the exhibition RECORDING WALES 3 in 1970/1971.
