The Village Hall

The Village Hall is a building originally constructed as a workshop for the Redruth and Chasewater Railway around 1854. It is made of slatestone rubble, featuring some granite railway jambstones and quoins, and incorporates granite sleeper blocks in its lower courses. The building has a corrugated asbestos roof with gable ends and wooden lintels. It has a long rectangular plan and is a single storey structure, with a range of wide three-light casements on the north and south walls. The west end has been remodeled for use as a village hall. The interior has not been inspected. This building is part of the Redruth and Chasewater Railway, which operated from 1824 to 1915, transporting mineral ore to the port of Devoran, initially using horse-drawn vehicles until the introduction of steam locomotives in 1854.
