tinworks
Metal processing plant
A tinworks is a factory or facility where tin is smelted, processed, or manufactured into products.
The term typically appears in historical contexts, referring to industrial sites from the 18th and 19th centuries when tin mining and processing were major industries: The old tinworks has been converted into a museum.
Usually singular in form despite the -s ending.
