Fore Street, Redruth
The large ornate building is grade II listed. It was built around 1870 (extended around 1890) as a wholesale grocers and warehouse.
The statue of the tin miner was erected in 2008, created by David Annand. Redruth and Camborne once led the world in copper and tin mining, with many skills, designs and even Cornish culture being spread far and wide (yes, Cornish pasties can be found in Mexico, among other countries, to this day). Standing proudly in Fore Street, it commemorates Redruth's rich copper and tin mining history.
