History

George Davey was a hairdresser in Hyden in the 1930s. In c1936, he built a brick shop front and house behind. Through the war years he ran the mail service from Kondinin to Hyden, and farms. Saturday was "mail day" during the 1930s, 40s and 50s. The shop had a number of owners and different outlets over the years. In 1983 the R & I bank purchased the property and constructed a small bank office with N. R. Lynch regional manager at the time.
