Description
The leat retaining wall at Treforest Tinplate Works is a significant structure dating from 1835. It is located on the west side of the rolling mill and is constructed from snecked rubble, with sections heightened or repaired using hammer-dressed snecked stone and topped with rock-faced copings. Near one of the large doorways of the rolling mill, there is a tablet that reads 'WC 1835 Perseverance', which reflects the motto of the Crawshay family. The feeder features seven sluices with cast iron frames, originally designed for raising sluice gates, although all of these are now bricked up.
