Elba Tin Plate Co
1872 Roger Beck moved to Swansea to invest in commodities. After the failure of his first investment in a tin plate works at Gowerton, he was approached by Isaac Butler (of Landore Works) who pointed out faults in the production at the works in Gowerton. Together with Butler, Col. John Roper Wright and Beck, the Elba Tinplate Works was reopened in 1878 using Siemens expertise (presumably this refers to Elba Steel Works). The company flourished.[1]
1934 Elba Tin Plate Co was jointly owned by Baldwins and the Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Co[2].
1951 Nationalised under the Iron and Steel Act; became part of the Iron and Steel Corporation of Great Britain[3]
At some date (certainly before 1958) this company seems to have been acquired by the Steel Company of Wales
