For the Schools: Spotlight on The Old Works

on BBC Television

View in Radio Times

A visit by outside broadcast cameras of the Welsh Television Unit to the tinplate works at Clydach near Swansea.
Introduced by Wynford Vaughan Thomas.

Today most of Britain's tinplate comes from huge modern stripmills, but there remain in South Wales a diminishing number of the old-style handmills. Here an old and honourable craft is still practised in the production of fine Welsh tinplate.
(The subject of next week's Spotlight will be announced at the end of this programme)
