    Tin Toys from a Welsh Tin making Musuem on display in their Cabinets and not mine. These were the first tin producers in the World in the early years.

    The tin works was powered by something Wales has an abundance off...water.! The location is Aberdulais near Neath South Wales. Tin production along with copper was a thriving industry until production started in Amercia. Famous waterfall and fascinating industrial site with tin workers' exhibition

    Set in a steep gorge, this place demonstrates the power of water and its impact on industry.

    Our film 'Reflections on Tin' traces its 400-year history, from 1584, including a visit by the famous artist JMW Turner.

    An early water-powered tin works was the last industry here. Today the waters of the River Dulais are used to make Aberdulais Falls self-sufficient in environmentally friendly energy. It has the largest electricity-generating waterwheel in Europe.

    Tin, copper, coal, slates for roofs and all sorts of consumables were made in Wales.
