Kidwelly Tin Plate Works 1981

I went there in 1974 approximately it had closed downi dont know when . the main gates were locked but we snuck in and we went into a smallish power plant run by a horizontal slide valve steam engine. I remember boxes and boxes of old style edison type light bulbs, it was a complete time warp then. People forget that there was a time when technology sometimes did not change labour was cheap and tradition ruled.

Luckily it was not sold for scrap. -- surprising as steel works were local further down the coast. Was it a private works?
