In later life it became the Druids Hall and latter still the Zodiac Bingo Hall, which burnt down in the 1970's, to the entertainment of the locals; they love a good fire in Redruth. The artefacts in the picture were saved by local historian Thurstan Peter and are still there today, recently the shell of the building has become a memorial garden, it is on one of the main roads through the town opposite the British Legion. Hope that answers your query, anaracks us all.

I am sure that the stone is going to be either a fertility or healing stone, and probably the later - unless the hole is a lot larger than it appears.

As I said above, the picture is NOT Redruth. Always interested to hear a bit of local history though
