History

Cardonnel Tinplate Works was opened in 1891 with 3 mills, subsequently increased to 4. It was a comparatively small tinplate works but part of the large-scale expansion of the tinplate industry in the Neath and Swansea district in the late C19. Production ceased c1934 after its acquisition by Richard Thomas & Co. The premises were requisitioned by the Ministry of Supply in 1942 and the buildings were offered for sale in 1948, after which most of the buildings were probably taken down. The stack was probably associated with the boilers raising steam for the rolling mill engines.

Exterior
