2008 GoogleMaps photo of 1098 Botany Road sourced by John Ness. GoogleMaps photo of Bay Street side sourced by John Beer.
Peter Beaumont, who worked there in the 1960s described the location as per the diagram. Peter states: "The photo of number 1098 is the old CBC Bank, Botany. This is on the north western corner of Botany Road and Bay Street. The end terrace is where John Rowlings and his wife (and girls) lived (rented from the Bank). At the time John was at Royal Exchange Branch. I later went to relieve at Newtown branch for a couple of weeks and John was Manager there at that time.
When I was at Botany Branch, from June 1964 to around mid 1966, it was known as 1100 Botany Road. Jack Lynch was my Manager and Alan E Potts was second officer. Alan married Chrisanda Kay Claydon from Aberdeen Branch in the Hunter Valley. Alan left the bank and was CFO of a mining company in the Hunter Valley and Chairman of the Hunter Valley Discussion Group at CPA Australia.
On the other corner (1102) is the Endeavour Hotel which was owned by the Ashtons. I believe that cousins, also Ashtons, owned the Captain Cook Hotel which was about five to ten shops down from the Endeavour Hotel. I guess with the rationalisation of pubs/poker machine licences, the Captain Cook Hotel was sold if it's not there now. " |
