Melingriffith Tin Plate Works
The Melingriffith Tin Plate Works (alternate: Melingriffith Tin and Iron Works; Welsh, ''Melingruffydd''; translation, "Griffith's Mill") were post medieval tin and iron works located on Tŷ-mawr Road, in Whitchurch, Cardiff, Wales. Founded sometime before 1750, it was the largest tin-plate works in the world by the end of the 18th century. Subsequent to the closure of Melingriffith Tin Plate Works in 1957 (the site has been cleared and fenced), it was named a scheduled monument.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MELINGRIFFITH TIN PLATE WORKS )〕 The 200-year-old Melingriffith water pump is also a scheduled monument.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MELINGRIFFITH WATER PUMP, MELINGRIFFITH )〕 It is one of the earliest and most important works of its kind, and may be "the most notable surviving monument of the tinplate industry".

Melingriffith Works was situated at the foot of the Taff Valley, on the banks of the Taff River and the Glamorganshire Canal. The works covered an area of . They were connected with the Glamorganshire Canal and also with the Taff Vale Railway by a siding nearly long, at a point just below Taff's Well station. The eleven rolling mills were situated at a lower level than the other parts of the works in order to take advantage of the fall of the water. The Radyr Weir, situated on the river about above the works, was renewed and strengthened in 1774 to provide a more regular supply of water. ''Velindre'' ("the house of the mill") was situated on the crest of a hill which overlooked the works.〔
