Redruth Market Day on Saturday 7th of August 2021
The Redruth Town Centre and the Highstreet have a rich history and some important heritage features and stories which are still visible around town in shop fronts and local landmarks. The Local Heritage List Pilot project aims to capture some of the favourite and most important assets for people and the community in what is considered a distinctive character of the area.
Once the urban centre of the Cornish Mining industry, Redruth is now at the heart of the World Heritage Site.
This year, the Buttermarket has been listed at Grade II by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) on the advice of Historic England.
In the past, due to a lack of protection , some buildings were lost like the Tabbs Hotel, Redruth (kernowbeat.co.uk)
