| Nundle
Jenkins Street
(Agency of Tamworth) | 
2006 | 1979 listed in White Pages as Bank of NSW. Nev Hillenberg comments: The Bank of NSW building was purchased by a local storekeeper, and garage proprietor (Ken and Noreen Waser). He used the building for his private home, and CBC leased the office section from him.
1981 commencement as agency of CBC
The Bank set up in Nundle in early 1981 after the Wales closed ther branch, Nev Hillenburg has covered some of the details, the agency opened on Wednesday mornings and Friday afternoons, I used to go out there every second Friday alternating with the other Loans Officer, a Garry Cane. There was an "agency officer" who manned the office, Nev used to go out on Wednesdays. By opening up when the Wales left the Bank picked up the Shire business and quite a bit of the town as well. It was an enjoyable "day out" to go there but freezing in the winter. Notes by Warwick Laing1986 listed in White Pages as agency of NAB. John Beer
2006 November photo by Frank MaundrelI of 85 Jenkins Street, Nundle. The building originally housed a Branch of Bank of NSW, closed about 1981. CBC then leased the building and conducted an Agency (one day per week, as I recall) from 400 Peel Street, Tamworth. The Agency is now closed and the building is used as a Private Hotel, known as Jenkins Street Guest House.
2019 February Graeme Reeves advised that the Jenkins Street building is now a guesthouse. He worked for the CBC and NAB for 25 years and in the 1990,s went out to Nundle on Fridays from 10.30-2.30 to run the agency. He found out the Bank of NSW operated the building up to 1981 then CBC took over the building. NAB 400 Peel took it over as an agency on Fridays until they closed it. 2019 May Frank Maundrell advised: There is plenty of correct information about this representation, which began after the Bank of NSW closed in 1981, before NAB was created. A major factor in CBC's decision to begin the Agency was transfer of the old Nundle Shire Council business to CBC. That is all history now that Nundle Shire is amalgamated into Tamworth Regional Council. I'm not sure when the Agency closed, but it was still operating well into the 1990's. | | Nymagee | 
1890 | Nymagee is 96Km South of Cobar. A copper mining town until 1917.
'Nymagee' is an indigenous word for 'small plain surrounded by hills'. It is in the centre of a triangle of three major towns: Cobar (100 km NW), Nyngan (120 km NE) Condobolin (160 km SE) with smaller town Tottenham (113 km E). There is a population of 62 in the village and 160 in the surrounding district. Notes by John Beer
1880 Sep 15 R A Mudd Manager Cobar wrote to Manager Head Office:
"Nymagee Copper Mining Co:- Nymagee:-
Population 300-400
100 employed at mine
Total monthly wages paid by the mine 1,000 pounds. Nymagee people bank CBC Cobar & Lachlan branches of AJS Bank Suggest branch be opened at once." from Select Documents of 19th Century Volume 2 Pg 18-19

1985 photos by Andrew Watts. Back of Nyngan Building. If you look closely you can see a balcony with a fence like railing. This was the highest point of the house. You would get there after climbing three flights of stairs.
There were three rain water tanks and a large underground tank. Note the old style inlets at the tops of the down-pipes.
From Nyngan Roof looking over open air Cinema. You could see the movies from the old bank, well at an angle anyway and audio wasn't the best.
1986 photo by Andrew Watts, son of Noel Watts who was Manager of this branch. This was Andrew's favourite. This photo was taken as they moved out in 1986.
1987 unfortunately pulled down. Watts family were the last occupiers before this grand old building was no more.
2016 March Kendall Watts emailed: I grew up at the Nyngan CBC bank from 1981 to 1986.
Just noticed on eBay there are two old postcards for sale with the bank in it. They are on eBay right now. Kendall supplied copies of the early black&white postcard which also has the California Cafe Courthouse Hotel Pangee Street at left of the bank and the 1980s postcard of the main street including the CBC Bank.
