In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Redruth like this:

Redruth is in. the midst of a rich mineral district, and carries on an extensive trade in connection with the tin and copper mines in the neighbourhood. It is of very remote origin, and has Druidical remains.
Redruth is now part of CORNWALL Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how CORNWALL has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Redruth itself, go to Statistics.
