The Bank Of New South Wales

The Bank Of New South Wales at Oamaru was opened in Tyne Street in 1876, and the fine building now occupied in Thames Street was erected in 1890. It is considered one of the finest of the Bank's New Zealand offices, and consists of a two-storey stone building, with a basemont, and in a handsome design. The branch is the only one of the Bank between Timaru and Dunedin. Mr. William Pringle, the manager, was born near Edinburgh, in Scotland. He came to New Zealand in 1864, and joined the Dunedin branch of the Bank shortly afterwards. Mr. Pringle served in various parts of New Zealand before his appointment to Oamaru, in 1902.
