Felindre works site

In 1956, the Steel Company of Wales opened a tinplate works at Felindre to complement new facilities at Port Talbot and Trostre. In 1967, the Steel Company of Wales was nationalised, becoming part of British Steel Corporation, which inherited the additional tinplate works at Ebbw Vale Steelworks. By 1970, Felindre works employed 2,500 people and was producing 490,000 tonnes of tinplate per annum. Having already closed the tinplate works at Port Talbot, on review of the three remaining tinplate plants within its South Wales division, in December 1980 it was decided to close the site at Felindre. In March 1981, 1,300 people were made redundant, though 138 were found jobs at Trostre, leaving 768 on site. Production was run down until 1989, when another 108 were given jobs at Trostre.[2] The grounds of the former steelworks played host to the National Eisteddfod 2006.

Sport

In 2006 Felindre was part of the World Rally Championship servicing the rally cars whilst they compete in the Welsh Rally, a round of the (WRC) World Rally Championship.[3] For 2007 the site moved to the Swansea SA1 area.
