The Hot and Cold Rolling Mills at Kidwelly Tinplate Works is a nineteenth-century industrial structure associated with the tinplate manufacturing industry that dominated the Tywi valley in Carmarthenshire. The building represents the mechanised processes central to tinplate production, whereby sheets of steel were rolled to precise thicknesses and surface qualities required for coating with tin. The works exemplify the industrial development of south Wales during the Victorian era, when the region became a major centre of tinplate manufacture for both domestic and export markets. The structure survives as evidence of the technological and organisational systems that characterised Victorian metalworking and the industrial heritage of the area.
