Pontardawe Tinplate Works was a tinplate works in Pontardawe, Wales. The factory was founded in 1843 by William Parsons,[1] and in 1861 was leased from him by William Gilbertson, by which time it comprised nine mills.[2] The workforce was largely recruited from amongst mainly Welsh-speaking[3] former coal miners after local seams had been exhausted.[4]

The site of the works is now occupied by Cwmtawe Comprehensive School, Pontardawe Leisure Centre with the associated Ynysderw Playing Fields, and several stores.
