Grade 2 listed building

A history of Redruth indicates that in 1776 the London Inn was one of the "principal hosteleries" of the town, with stabling for 60 horses and carriages. It had had been purchased by Thomas and Peggy Curgenven Clark, who stayed until 1779. An entry for 1854 states that the inn (the "London Hotel") was owned by James Snow, "afterward John Trestrail." This was probably a few years afterward, since John was in Australia in 1861.
