History

In 1934 the bank of New South Wales was built in Dangin, and the manager for the duration of the bank being open was Mr Stronach. The bank closed in 1947, moving the operation to Quairading. Mr JJ Adamson bought the bank premises and lived there with his family until 1967, with the bank still operating in the front of the building twice a week, until the early 1950s. The Adamson's home was also used by the clinic sister.
