Tehidy Holiday Park in Cornwall is minutes away from Redruth. Redruth was the mining capital of Cornwall. What happened to all the miners when mining in Cornwall collapsed? The simple answer is many relocated to the new mining territories around the world. As they say where you find mining you'll find a Cornishman. Many people are now trying to trace their family routes and discover that their family tree comes back to mining in Cornwall. So where did the family emigrate to? This is the difficult question they often get stuck on. The good news is Redruth has a Global Migration Programme that keeps records of mining migration. This useful facility is housed in Murdoch House, Cross Street, Redruth. This is on a side street, opposite the Regal Cinema on Fore Street, at the bottom of the main shopping area.
