when John Beer relieved Mr Clement Manager Gunning. It is assumed there was good business in this area to warrant CBCofS having conducted Dalton receiving office for so long

============
1942 CBC opened again 1st May as a receiving office of Oaklands in one of these buildings.
1943 January closed. Photos from David Jobson, who comments: When I was researching all this stuff in 1992, I spent some time in Daysdale (pop.50) one afternoon seeing if any of the older people could remember the banks. A couple could, along with the set of small shops next to them in the "complex". That complex is ant ridden and will go one day soon I think. There is a pub up on the corner but the local school has recently closed.
That original NBA branch is in good nick and still occupied. There were no visible signs of anything CBC. It's a fair bet CBC was in that shop complex, maybe next door as the NBA signage is still on their spot. |

2008 | Delungra is 29Km East of Warialda, and 33Km West of Inverell Opened 1908 (120th Report);
closed 1909 (122nd Report)
2008 photos by David Jobson who says: "Nice little building, pity that the front entrance has been marred by the installation of the dreaded aluminium doors. I forgot to mention that the branch is unconfirmed however there's hardly anything in Delungra let alone any other building that could've been a bank, any bank.
I'd bet my Officer's Fidelity Fund contributions on it! I wonder what happened to that fund anyway?"
2008 November: Sorry to disappoint however the premises was built for the City Bank of Sydney 1912. This bank was absorbed into the Australian Bank of Commerce c 1918 and then Bank of NSW 1932. This was the only stand alone bank building in Delungra.
I have made an extensive search of the history of this bank premises since I bought the building in 1994.
From some research notes of the history of Delungra the CBC of Sydney only operated as an agency of the Inverell branch for a short period in the time frame you suggest. I am not aware of any photos of the premises. My wife worked at the CBC Sydney branch at Inverell late 1950's to 1962.
Best wishes with your research. Peter McCarthy Delungra |
