Kidwelly Industrial Museum is situated just a mile from the historic castle town of Kidwelly, and just five miles from the town of Llanelli, which, at the end of the 19th Century was the Tinplate manufacturing centre of the world, giving the town the nickname of Tinopolis.
The locality around the town of Llanelli, including Kidwelly, was once home to around half the world¡¯s production of tinplate.
The Industrial Museum itself is the site of the second oldest recorded tinplate works in the UK and some of the remains of this works can still be seen today.
After a visit to the museum you will go away with an understanding of this complicated and fascinating process.
