Author(s): Johanna Roethe
Six purpose-built banks from the 19th and early 20th centuries survive in Redruth, including: the Redruth Savings Bank dating from around 1827, the Redruth District Bank of 1879-80 by James Hicks, the Devon & Cornwall Bank of 1886-7 by Hicks, the Barclays Bank of 1906-7 by Oliver Caldwell, the Midland Bank of around 1920 and the Lloyds Bank of around 1922-24. This report sets out the national and local context for these buildings, in terms of the history of the banks they were built for and their architectural design. It will inform various initiatives of the High Street Heritage Action Zone (HSHAZ) partnership between Historic England and Cornwall Council.
