This is the Station Hill side of the church on the corner of the B3300. The church's website states that Redruth Baptist Church began when Opie Smith came down at Christmas 1801, hired a room in the town and held preaching meetings. By August 1802, four people were ready to be baptised by full immersion on profession of faith at Blowing House Bridge, near Carn Brea Hill. In the evening these four men were the first members of the newly constituted Baptist Church. By 1866 the first Baptist Church building stood where the Town Cafe is now in Baptist Court. In view is the second church building, erected at a cost £1367. It opened in 1877.
