This one info from Dangerous Dave and DJ Flava.

Went wtih Dave, DJ and Scotty - nice little trip out taking in the UE sights of Redruth.
Day started grey but soon's we'd entered the site the blue sky appeared and we even had a bit of sun.

You guys love history so here be some:

Brewing started in 1792, it was acquired by Devenish in 1934. It was purchased by a management buy out in 1991, contract brewing for other breweries, particularly focusing on the supermarket branded beer. It restarted brewing it's own brand beer in 1998. It suspended brewing it's own brands during early 2002 but restarted again later that year. The brewery went into liquidation at the beginning of 2004 and closed during March of that year.

Last news report on it few months before closure

On to some pics:

Cheers
