The ironworks developed from a blast furnace built in 1696. There was a succession of owners, but no great success until the works was taken over in the early 1820s by George Crane of Bromsgrove. In 1837 there were three blast furnaces in production, increased to six by 1853. A tinplate works of three mills was built on the ironworks site in 1889. It was operative for sixty years and its plant was finally dismantled in, 1946 under the Tinplate Redundancy Scheme [1]

The average American Civil War soldier was provided with one canteen, a tin cup, plate and set of cutlery. Everything else had to be brought or bought by the soldier himself. In this setting a tin plate, a two-pronged fork, a couple of knives, and a wooden spoon was acquired before enlistment. The candle was used for light to eat, read, or write by, with the bayonet serving as a candelabra. (This was the most common use for a bayonet during the war. Relatively speaking, the bayonet was rarely used in actual battle.) The tin cup in this image is completely rusted on the inside and charred on the outside, and was/is used to make coffee, cook a stew, boil eggs, rice, or beans, boil salt pork or beef, and to soften the issued biscuits (hardtack). This was what the individual soldier carried as part of his personal belongings. A mess of 4-6 men might also share carrying a larger pot, maybe an ax, and frying pan. Bon appetit !

Grade 2 listed. Built in 1875, this bridge carried a short-lived branch to the nearby Abbey Tinplate Works. Known as the Wireworks branch, the line proved to be a financial disaster - the wireworks had closed by the time construction of the line was completed.
The branch line was rendered useless after the tracks buckled in the very hot summer of 1935. The track was lifted in 1941.
The wooden planked road is now used as a footpath and for farm traffic .

River Wye at Redbrook , an ancient village near Tintern., -- the opposite side of the river-- thus in England !
The 17th Century saw the beginning of the copper and tin industries. Located at the bottom of the valley, dominated by two powerful brooks Redbrook became a natural choice for processing the copper and tin brought up the River Wye on trows – the famous flat bottomed boats. Mines in Cornwall provided the raw materials and the groves on Highbury Hill provided the trees for charcoal to heat the furnaces. In 1692 the copper works arrived and by 1800 had been replaced by the tinworks. The village grew and houses were built for the workers, more than 20 tiny cottages lines the track to the tinplate works with at least 5 public houses, 2 breweries and a chapel to serve the residents.

William Crawshay II first started a tinplate rolling mill on site in 1794, and following a rebuild in 1834, by the mid 1800s it was the largest tin works in Britain. It was managed by Crawshay’s son Francis. The works were abandoned by the Crawshay family in 1857 and in 1861, the whole property reverted to the Bute Estate. In 1896 the works was leased to the Waterhouse Brothers of Bradford, but output declined throughout the 20th century. The furnaces finally closed in 1905. Its final owner was Richard Thomas & Co.

In the last dregs of sunshine on a summer’s Sunday evening, 60096 ‘Ben Macdui’ coasts past Park Junction in Newport with 6b77, the 2030 Ebbw Vale to Margam steel empties.
The relatively slow lenses of my Pentax 6x7 made moving train photography challenging early or late in the day. While the train was running early, this photograph was taken around 2030 and was at the limits of my equipment at the time.
This was the last shot of a very productive Sunday afternoon spent on the Ebbw Vale branch. In 1993 three loaded trains of steel coil ran up the valley and three empties ran back down. The branch was slow enough to allow a reasonably leisurely chase of each train, on this day resulting in plentiful selection of images of the class 60-hauled trains.
Tinplating (and so the reason for steel trains in the Ebbw Vale) finished in 2002. The 20 mile route was reopened as a passenger route in 2008, with the freight only branch from Park Junction to Machen Quarry remaining in use in 2021.
Built in 1885 for the Great Western Railway, Park Junction is a rare survivor of semaphore signalling in South Wales. At the time of writing (December 2021), this signalbox is due to be abolished in March 2023.

Only one week left of MML HST service. As these sturdy diecast models are being replaced the shiny new tinplate toys are already cracking up
The HST was a design that balanced the needs of the operator with the the comfort of the passenger to perfection, and introduced at a time when there were still unfitted freights and other trappings of the old railway
As a passenger I shall miss them and don;t expect to be alone in that

Crowns Engine Houses, Botallack Mine
Botallack was a submarine mine with tunnels extending under the sea, in places for half a mile. Over its recorded lifetime the mine produced around 14,500 tonnes of tin, 20,000 tonnes of copper, and 1,500 tonnes of arsenic. An estimated 1.5 million tonnes of waste would have been dug up with the minerals. It is unclear how far back mining activity goes in this location. Early records date from the 1500s. Some archaeological evidence points to mining here in the Roman era or even as far back as the Bronze Age.
Henry Boynes was captain of the mine in the early 18th-century and opened a ″deep adit level,″ which was driven to the Corpus Christi lode in the higher mine. The first steam-engine was put to work at Carnyorth Moor (later part of the Botallack sett) in either 1795 or about 1810, depending on the source. In the first half of the 19th-century, the average price of Botallack tin was £64 4s a ton. The abolition of tin duty of 4s per 120 lbs to the Duke of Cornwall in 1838 helped to keep the mine operating despite a decline in the price of tin to £45 per ton. In the 1860s a new diagonal shaft was dug. A visit by the Prince and Princess of Wales in 1865, when they descended the shaft, created a mini-boom in tourism, causing the mine operators to charge visitors a guinea per person.
An increasing supply of tin – initially from Malaysia, Banka Island, and Sumatra, and in the 1870s onwards from Australia – along with a fall in demand for tinplate in the American market, caused the price of tin to fall, causing many Cornish mines to close. The managers decided in January 1883 to stop the Botallack and Crowns engines, because the number of men employed below ground was not sufficient to meet the costs of keeping the engines going. On 2 October 1883 the recently renewed setts, which extended over 2 miles (3.2 km) – comprising Wheal Cock, the Crowns, Carnyorth and Higher Mine – were put up for auction as a ″going concern.″ It included four pumping and three winding engines, two steam stamps, plus other appliances. At the auction it was stated that the mine ″... only needs from £20,000 to £25,000 to be put in good working order, ...″ There were no bids for the mine.
The following shafts were working in 1884,
Botallack engine-shaft, 220 fathoms (1,320 ft; 400 m) deep and worked with a 30 inches (760 mm) cylinder
Crowns engine-shaft, 130 fathoms (780 ft; 240 m) deep and worked with a 36 inches (910 mm) cylinder

Le quai Président-Wilson est un ancien quai industriel sur la Loire, d’une longueur totale de 1,5 km, situé au sud-ouest de l’île de Nantes, le long d'un des bras de la Loire baptisé « bras de Pirmil », de part et d’autre du pont des 3 Continents. Construit pendant la « Grande guerre » sur la rive sud de l'ancienne île Sainte-Anne puis agrandi pendant les années 1920 pour atteindre une longueur d'un kilomètre, il est considéré comme un des plus grands quais de France à l'époque. Les ouvrages ont été construits à des périodes différentes s’étalant sur la première moitié du XXème siècle, et certains ont subi des dommages importants au cours de la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale, ayant entraîné une reconstruction partielle de la partie sur voûtes ainsi qu’une reconstruction totale de la partie massive sur pieux. Il était utilisé pour la circulation de grues roulantes et de convois de marchandises. Jusqu'à l'arrêt définitif de son activité en 2007, il permet d'importer les matières premières approvisionnant les industries implantées sur place, à savoir du sucre de canne brut destiné à être raffiné dans l'usine de Béghin-Say, des engrais chimiques Timac), du fer-blanc destiné à la fabrication d'ustensiles de cuisine et de boîtes de conserves et d'exporter de la ferraille. Avec l’arrêt des activités portuaires du quai, au début des années 2000, les cinq grues Mofag, de 158 tonnes chacune, qui s'y trouvaient ont été déménagé vers d'autres sites du grand port maritime de Nantes-Saint-Nazaire.
The President-Wilson quay is a former industrial quay on the Loire, with a total length of 1.5 km, located to the south-west of the Ile de Nantes, along one of the arms of the Loire called "arms de Pirmil ”, on either side of the 3 Continents Bridge. Built during the “Great War” on the south shore of the former Île Sainte-Anne then enlarged during the 1920s to reach a length of one kilometer, it was considered to be one of the largest docks in France at the time. The structures were built at different times spanning the first half of the twentieth century, and some suffered significant damage during World War II, leading to a partial reconstruction of the vaulted part as well as a reconstruction. total of the massive part on piles. It was used for the movement of rolling cranes and freight convoys. Until the final cessation of its activity in 2007, it allows the import of raw materials supplying industries established on site, namely raw cane sugar intended for refinement in the Béghin-Say plant, fertilizers Timac chemicals), tinplate for the manufacture of kitchen utensils and cans and for the export of scrap metal. With the cessation of port activities at the quay in the early 2000s, the five Mofag cranes, each weighing 158 tonnes, were moved to other sites in the large seaport of Nantes-Saint-Nazaire.

The last few years have been exceptionally tough to the United State's tinplate making operations, with increasing pressure from foreign steel dumping into country with numerous tin operations being idled all across. A direct sign of this becoming an increasingly worrisome problem was brought to the forefront to workers of United Steelworkers Local 2911 in May of 2023. WARN notices were filed by Cleveland Cliffs, with 300 layoffs expected the following month in June.
The reasoning being cited as the company could not compete and was being out-priced with the drastically cheaper imports flooding the market. Cliffs response was a trade case filing with the Department of Commerce to declare unfair trade practices on foreign tin and chromium products, to which the Dept of Commerce did so on 4 countries being Canada, China, South Korea, and Germany.
Further review from the International Trade Commission in February of 2024 rejected the tariffs - claiming no material injury to the industry and that products imported are sold at a reasonable price. For those interested to read the entire report, it can be found here.
On February 15th 2024, as a direct response to the ITC ruling, Cleveland Cliff's announced an "indefinite idling" of the tin mill operations located in Weirton, WV. WARN notices were filed for the remaining 900 employees notifying that the last day of operations would be April 15th of 2024.
April 15th would mark the end of more than 115 years of continuous steel making in the city of Weirton, WV and the last piece of the once vast Weirton Steel Corporation's operational facilities. In the photo above, Weirton Steel 306, painted up in current owner Cleveland Cliff's company colors is seen passing by the matching tandem mill buildings distant right of the train.
They are shuttling empty boxcars specifically made for moving tin coils from the mill to be transloaded onto trucks a few miles away. This is the "famous" Weirton Steel shot off of the West Virginia Route 2 bridge, looking down into what is now just a shell of the plant's former self. In the 1980's you could stand up on this bridge and see a nonstop orchestra of steel products being moved in every direction imaginable. The beginning of the end started in 1996, beginning the path down to a long and slow death leading to Weirton Steel Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in May of 2003.
In the bankruptcy proceedings that followed at auction, most assets were acquired by International Steel Group for $237 Million dollars. ISG would rename Weirton Steel to ISG Weirton Steel in May of 2004.
ISG did not waste time announcing a $30M clean up and modernization plan for the plant, involving the abatement and demolition of obsolete and idled structures. The scrapped steel was used to feed the blast furnaces on location.
Early 2005. The hammer falls one last time. Mittal Steel makes an offer totaling $4.5 billion dollars to buy ISG. The merger was completed in April of 2005, and ISG Weirton Steel became Mittal Weirton Steel. One month later, Mittal announces the idling of the blast furnaces and double strand casters by years end.
November of 2005 saw Mittal make the decision to permanently shut down the blast furnaces and accompanying furnaces due to high operational costs.
Following the Mittal - Arcelor merger in 2006, Arcelor Mittal announces the shut down of the hot mill in 2008. With just the cold sheet and tin operations left open, Arcelor Mittal sold all unused property (1,100 acres in all) to Frontier Steel of Buffalo, NY in 2017, who demolished all remaining structures on site.
Five years before the closure of Ebbw Vale works, the driver of 60015 ‘Bow Fell’ chats with a shunter prior to heading back down the valley with 6b83, the 0905 to Llanwern.
After the closure of Velindre in 1989 British Steel operated two tinplating works in South Wales, one at Trostre near Llanelli and this one at Ebbw Vale. Both were fed with steel coil from the rolling mills at Llanwern or Port Talbot and both dispatched tinplate, with significant volumes moved by rail.
The lower yard here is completely full of traffic: in addition to the train of coil which 60015 had just delivered all sidings are occupied by loaded or empty coil carriers or vans for the dispatch of tinplate.
With the merger of British Steel with the Dutch steel maker Koninklijke Hoogovens to form Corus in 1999, rationalisation was likely and in 2001 closure of Ebbw Vale was announced. Closure followed in July 2002, just over 5 years after this picture was taken.
In 2019 the tinplate works at Trostre survives and continues to receive and generate rail traffic.
