The demise of the Redruth and Chasewater Railway
The pioneering railway was completed and running on January 31st 1886.
The railway was running by the 31st January 1886 to serve what became known as 'the richest square mile in the world' in terms of mineral wealth in the mid-19th century.
The name of the railway has always been the Redruth and Chasewater with an "S" although the village it was meant to serve has always been Chacewater with a "C".
