Hi Jon,Thanks very much. Oddly, I never even thought of checking Wikipedia. With this and a few other sources, I am building up a fair picture of what the job entailed. Again, thanks.

I am writing a short piece on my grandfather who, in the 1891 census, is listed as 15 and as working as a "cold roller" in I believe "the tin works" in Llanelli. Any of you know what a "cold roller" did, what the job entailed? I have found references to the term "cold roller" but no description of the job. Any other information, e.g., wage rates, working conditions, etc. would also be much appreciated.

Thanks David T.
