Redruth

Redruth, a town and a parish in Cornwall. The town stands on the West Cornwall section of the G.W.R., at the junction of the line to Perran Arworthal, 9½ miles SW of Truro, and 311 from London. It has a post, money order, and telegraph office.

Redruth is conjectured by some antiquaries to be one of the most ancient towns in England, and to have been originally called Tre Druith, this signifying "Druids' town." It is believed by less sanguine writers not to have originated till after the division of the county into parishes; was for some time called, and is still occasionally called, St Uny; appears to have been built around a chapel dedicated to that saint; seems to have acquired its present name by a corruption of Tretrot, signifying "the house on the river's bed;" is situated chiefly on the side of a hill, rising to the altitude of 414 feet, amid a dreary tract of country, bare of vegetation and strewn with rubbish, but remarkably rich in mineral produce; consists chiefly of one long street, carries on extensive trade in connection with neighbouring mines of tin and copper, and is the seat of county courts. It has a bank, two chief inns, a town-hall, public rooms, a masonic hall, a market-place with a clock-tower at the entrance, a theatre, a literary institution, a school of art, an extensive brewery, safety fuse manufactories, an iron foundry, and publishes two weekly newspapers. The railway station is on the hill, and the railway in its neighbourhood passes along a lofty viaduct.

The borough was declared a city by the style of " the City of Truro in the county of Cornwall" in 1877; it returned two members to Parliament from 1295 until 1885, when, by the Redistribution of Seats Act, it was merged in the county.
