HISTORY: savings banks were established to give the working classes a measure of financial independence, encouraged by the politician George Rose who set up a bill which became the Savings Banks (England) Act 1817. The first savings bank in Redruth opened in January 1818, with the bank moving into the newly-built premises on Station Road in around 1827. The upper floor was used as accommodation for a salaried officer. The building was enlarged to the rear between the 1850s and 1870s. The bank closed in 1892. The building then became the Redruth Urban District Council offices from 1894 to 1934, as recorded on a plaque on the front elevation.
