National Australia Bank - Designed by Mansfield Bros and built in 1884. This was one of the first substantial bank buildings in Forbes. It is almost original and occupies a corner site, which makes it of great importance to the street. H. Rankine Street Arcade. This avant guard shopping mall was built in 1892. Rare for an Australian country town. Built in part Federation style and classical styles. These premises have been recently restored.
The Commercial Banking Company of Sydney Limited, also known as the CBC, or CBC Bank, was a bank based in Sydney, Australia. It was established in 1834, and in 1982 merged with the National Bank of Australasia to form National Australia Bank.
National Australia Bank was formed as National Commercial Banking Corporation of Australia Limited in 1982 by the merger of National Bank of Australasia and the Commercial Banking Company of Sydney. The resulting company was subsequently renamed National Australia Bank Limited.[9]
The expanded financial base of the merged entity triggered significant offshore expansion over ensuing years. Representative offices were established in Beijing (1982), Chicago (1982), Dallas (1983), Seoul (1983, upgraded to a branch in 1990), San Francisco (1984), Kuala Lumpur (1984), Athens (1984, closed 1989), Frankfurt (1985, closed 1992), Atlanta (1986), Bangkok (1986), Taipei (1986 upgraded to branch 1990), Shanghai (1988, closed 1990), Houston (1989) and New Delhi (1989).
In 1987, NAB bought Clydesdale Bank (Scotland) and Northern Bank (Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland) from Midland Bank. It rebranded Northern Bank branches in the Republic of Ireland to National Irish Bank and changed both banks' logos from that of the Midland Bank. In 1990, NAB bought Yorkshire Bank (England and Wales).
In 1992, NAB purchased the Bank of New Zealand, which became a subsidiary of the Australian bank, but retained local governance, with a New Zealand board of directors.[10] At some point, a business entity known as Bank of New Zealand in Australia (BNZA) was absorbed by NAB.[11]
Further acquisitions followed – which at the time had about a 26% market share in the market, and Michigan National Bank (MNB) in 1995. NAB had earlier rationalised its operations in the US and closed its offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, and San Francisco in 1991.
This period of rapid expansion through acquisition concluded with the purchases in 1997 of HomeSide Lending, a leading US mortgage originator and servicer based in Florida, and most significantly, the acquisition in 2000 of MLC Limited (and related entities) for $4.56bn, one of the biggest mergers in Australian corporate history.
The Commercial Banking Company of Sydney Limited, also known as the CBC, or CBC Bank, was a bank based in Sydney, Australia. It was established in 1834, and in 1982 merged with the National Bank of Australasia to form National Australia Bank.
The CBC bank opened their first branch in Wellington in June 1876, trading from rooms in Mr W Way’s building, before moving to new premises in Nanima Crescent, erected by Dr. Rygate around 1878. The bank soon purchased this corner site from Mr Gardiner to allow for building their own premises.
Plans were prepared by George Mansfield of Mansfield Brothers Architects, of Sydney, and tenders were called in December 1881. Work on construction began in early 1882 and was completed by April 1883, when the bank moved into their new premises. As was the custom, the grand building had the business chambers on the ground floor, with the first floor reserved as a residence for the manager and his family.
The CBC Bank merged with the National Bank of Australasia in 1982, forming the National Australia Bank (NAB), under which name this branch traded from that time. The property was sold in 2001, with the bank continuing to trade from the property under a lease arrangement. The NAB closed this branch in August 2023.

Originally a branch of the Commercial Banking Company of Sydney Limited opened in Temora on November 2, 1904. Mrs F. S.Manning was the Acting Manager for the first two weeks, with Mr. N. Solling assisting. Mr. R.E. Inglis was appointed the first Manager. (John Beer advises that Mr Inglis from Temora also opened branches at Beckom and Lake Cargelligo) This first branch was in leased premises in Hoskins Street on the opposite side of the street. This site was acquired, the Rates record of 4-3-1907 showing that rates were being paid on unimproved land. The new brick premises were completed in 1908. The land measuring 53 ft x 165 ft was purchased in 1906 for 713 pounds. The new building, designed by E.R. Laver, was erected in 1907 at a cost of 3,337 pounds. The building was built for the Commercial Banking Company of Sydney Ltd. which operated out of it providing a contiuous banking service over many years. The bank was later amalgamated with the National Bank of Australia and after the branch was closed on this site, the building was then bought and taken over by Granleese Solicitors. Currently (2006) the occupiers of the building are Creaghe Lisle Solicitors (ground floor) and Perrot - Granleese, accountants (top floor)

Gaza’s orphans: Pain without borders
The pain of Gaza’s orphaned children is unimaginable. In their name, we must act now to stop Israel’s genocide.
www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/the-world-wants-a-respite-fo...
The world wants a respite for Gaza. Israel vows to keep fighting.
(Washington Post) The U.N. Security Council has called for “urgent and extended” humanitarian pauses in Gaza to allow more aid into the enclave. The United States, Israel’s best friend, says it wants its ally to move from block-flattening airstrikes to operations that target Hamas leaders more precisely.
But in recent days, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli military commanders have suggested that the level of violence with which they’re prosecuting the war — already among the most destructive of the century, and a source of regional instability — will persist or even intensify.
Israeli airstrikes since Christmas Eve have wounded or killed hundreds of Palestinians, many of them in refugee camps, according to Palestinian and international health officials. Nineteen Israeli soldiers have been killed in fighting with militants over the past four days, one of the bloodiest stretches for Israel since it began the campaign it says was aimed at eradicating Hamas on Oct. 7.
The few hospitals that continue to function in Gaza are far beyond overwhelmed, aid officials say.
But the war “isn’t close to finished,” Netanyahu said during a visit to Gaza Monday.
“We are expanding the fight in the coming days,” he said in comments released by his Likud party. “This will be a long battle.”
The Security Council last week passed a resolution calling for a second humanitarian pause to provide Gaza’s civilians with a measure of relief. Nearly 21,000 people have been killed in the enclave since Oct. 7; water, food, shelter and medical care are all sharply limited.
To avoid a U.S. veto, council members stopped short of calling for a cease-fire. In the days since, Israel has signaled an escalation of its offensive, pounding central Gaza from the air and directing residents to evacuate to other areas of the strip.
The unrelenting violence has laid bare a contradiction between the Biden administration’s stated commitment to reduce civilian suffering, and its unwavering support for Israel’s campaign against Hamas, a mutual foe. Washington gives Israel weapons for the field and political cover at the United Nations — support that has enabled the offensive to continue.
For each day it does, authorities in Gaza say, hundreds of Palestinians are killed.
Netanyahu, writing in the Wall Street Journal on Monday, said the Gaza war would end when Israel wins, and not sooner. “Hamas must be destroyed, Gaza must be demilitarized, and Palestinian society must be de-radicalized,” he wrote in an op-ed piece.
The Biden administration has pressed for the Palestinian Authority, the governing body in the occupied West Bank, to play a central role in Gaza after the war. Netanyahu bluntly rejected that idea. “The expectation that the Palestinian authority will demilitarize Gaza is a pipe dream,” he wrote.
The Gaza Health Ministry said Tuesday that 20,915 people in the enclave have been killed by the Israeli military since Oct. 7. Two hundred and forty-one were killed between Monday and Tuesday, the ministry said.
The IDF on Saturday and Sunday struck at least three areas in central Gaza, including the Bureij and Maghazi refugee camps and the city of Deir al-Balah, to which Israel on Friday had urged Gazans to flee. At least 80 people were killed in an Israeli strike on a residential block in Maghazi late Sunday, Iyad Abu Zaher, director of al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, told The Washington Post on Monday.
Seif Magango, the spokesman for the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, said the agency is “gravely concerned about the continued bombardment of Middle Gaza by Israeli forces.” The roads connecting refugee camps in the area “have been destroyed, obstructing relief aid from reaching those in need,” he said in a statement, “and shelters and hospitals still minimally operating are critically overcrowded and under-resourced.”
Palestinian officials said Tuesday that Israel had returned the bodies of 80 people it had held during the Gaza war via the Kerem Shalom border crossing. The Hamas-run government media office said Israel had not identified the bodies or said where they had been taken from. They had been “mutilated,” the media office said in a statement, and there were “clear” indications that organs had been “stolen” from the corpses.
Paltel, the main Palestinian telecommunications provider, announced another cut in internet and cellular networks across Gaza. Laith Daraghmeh, CEO of the West Bank-based Telecommunications Regulatory Authority, said the outage was caused by a lack of fuel and damage to key infrastructure in Khan Younis by Israeli bombardments.
Gaza has faced ongoing communication outages, and calls frequently don’t go through or drop. Israeli strikes have hindered efforts to fix damaged infrastructure, Daraghmeh said. He called for “urgent intervention by the international community.”

The National Bank of Australasia was a bank based in Melbourne. It was established in 1857, and in 1982 merged with the Commercial Banking Company of Sydney to form National Australia Bank.
History
In 1857, Alexander Gibb, a Melbourne gentleman, enlisted Andrew Cruickshank, a local merchant and pastoralist, to raise the capital to establish National Bank of Australasia with headquarters in Melbourne. The prospectus was published on 18 November 1857.[2] The legal work establishing the bank was performed by a predecessor of King & Wood Mallesons. Cruickshank became its first chairman while Gibb left after being passed over for the position of General Manager. Prior to the opening of the bank, several shareholders took an unsuccessful action in the colony's Supreme Court claiming that Cruikshank and several other directors had been appointed illegally.[3] The first branch opened in Melbourne on 8 October 1858.[4] The bank was incorporated by the Colony of Victoria on 24 February 1859.[5] The bank opened its first branch in South Australia the same year. [citation needed] Expansion to other Australian states followed, with branches opening in Tasmania (1859), Western Australia (1866), New South Wales (1885) and finally Queensland (1920).
The Commercial Banking Company of Sydney Limited, also known as the CBC, or CBC Bank, was a bank based in Sydney, Australia. It was established in 1834, and in 1982 merged with the National Bank of Australasia to form National Australia Bank.
National Australia Bank was formed as National Commercial Banking Corporation of Australia Limited in 1982 by the merger of National Bank of Australasia and the Commercial Banking Company of Sydney. The resulting company was subsequently renamed National Australia Bank Limited.[9]
The expanded financial base of the merged entity triggered significant offshore expansion over ensuing years. Representative offices were established in Beijing (1982), Chicago (1982), Dallas (1983), Seoul (1983, upgraded to a branch in 1990), San Francisco (1984), Kuala Lumpur (1984), Athens (1984, closed 1989), Frankfurt (1985, closed 1992), Atlanta (1986), Bangkok (1986), Taipei (1986 upgraded to branch 1990), Shanghai (1988, closed 1990), Houston (1989) and New Delhi (1989).
In 1987, NAB bought Clydesdale Bank (Scotland) and Northern Bank (Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland) from Midland Bank. It rebranded Northern Bank branches in the Republic of Ireland to National Irish Bank and changed both banks' logos from that of the Midland Bank. In 1990, NAB bought Yorkshire Bank (England and Wales).
In 1992, NAB purchased the Bank of New Zealand, which became a subsidiary of the Australian bank, but retained local governance, with a New Zealand board of directors.[10] At some point, a business entity known as Bank of New Zealand in Australia (BNZA) was absorbed by NAB.[11]
Further acquisitions followed – which at the time had about a 26% market share in the market, and Michigan National Bank (MNB) in 1995. NAB had earlier rationalised its operations in the US and closed its offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, and San Francisco in 1991.
This period of rapid expansion through acquisition concluded with the purchases in 1997 of HomeSide Lending, a leading US mortgage originator and servicer based in Florida, and most significantly, the acquisition in 2000 of MLC Limited (and related entities) for $4.56bn, one of the biggest mergers in Australian corporate history.

"Middlesbrough To Be Home To The Bank That Builds
Today we've announced some truly fantastic news with confirmation that ground-breaking new bank GBB will have its headquarters in Middlesbrough.
In a move that will create up to 120 jobs in the town, GBB has secured a 15-year lease for 11,000 sq ft of space in one of our Centre Square buildings.
GBB, which until now has been based in Newcastle, is the first tenant confirmed for our Grade A office development alongside Middlesbrough Town Hall and mima.
GBB is expected to secure its provisional banking licence this Autumn, which will allow it to trade as GB Bank.
Recruitment is focused on local talent - and the bank expects to initially employ a team of around 60 people, doubling this as it grows.
It is already actively recruiting around 40 of these roles in the fields of finance, risk, customer management, marketing, human resources, IT, lending, savings and more.
When up and running, it will offer highly competitive fixed-rate savings and provide development finance to deliver more than 2,000 new homes and 770,000 sq ft of office space in the North-East alone.
Middlesbrough’s becoming a much braver and more ambitious town. What we’re going to do is start challenging cities like Newcastle and Leeds for investment and success.
Having a new bank based in the centre of Middlesbrough is the perfect statement of that new ambition and the first step to success.
GBB is certainly going to be very successful, create jobs and win national attention - so that’s absolutely fantastic news for our town.
Basing their headquarters in Centre Square is the first piece of really good news for our ambitions to host more jobs in and around the centre of town.
There are several more announcements to follow in the coming weeks. Watch this space!

The Commercial Banking Company of Sydney Limited, also known as the CBC, or CBC Bank, was a bank based in Sydney, Australia. It was established in 1834, and in 1982 merged with the National Bank of Australasia to form National Australia Bank.
National Australia Bank was formed as National Commercial Banking Corporation of Australia Limited in 1982 by the merger of National Bank of Australasia and the Commercial Banking Company of Sydney. The resulting company was subsequently renamed National Australia Bank Limited.[9]
The expanded financial base of the merged entity triggered significant offshore expansion over ensuing years. Representative offices were established in Beijing (1982), Chicago (1982), Dallas (1983), Seoul (1983, upgraded to a branch in 1990), San Francisco (1984), Kuala Lumpur (1984), Athens (1984, closed 1989), Frankfurt (1985, closed 1992), Atlanta (1986), Bangkok (1986), Taipei (1986 upgraded to branch 1990), Shanghai (1988, closed 1990), Houston (1989) and New Delhi (1989).
In 1987, NAB bought Clydesdale Bank (Scotland) and Northern Bank (Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland) from Midland Bank. It rebranded Northern Bank branches in the Republic of Ireland to National Irish Bank and changed both banks' logos from that of the Midland Bank. In 1990, NAB bought Yorkshire Bank (England and Wales).
In 1992, NAB purchased the Bank of New Zealand, which became a subsidiary of the Australian bank, but retained local governance, with a New Zealand board of directors.[10] At some point, a business entity known as Bank of New Zealand in Australia (BNZA) was absorbed by NAB.[11]
Further acquisitions followed – which at the time had about a 26% market share in the market, and Michigan National Bank (MNB) in 1995. NAB had earlier rationalised its operations in the US and closed its offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, and San Francisco in 1991.
This period of rapid expansion through acquisition concluded with the purchases in 1997 of HomeSide Lending, a leading US mortgage originator and servicer based in Florida, and most significantly, the acquisition in 2000 of MLC Limited (and related entities) for $4.56bn, one of the biggest mergers in Australian corporate history.

You might recall that Delaware mall I posted a couple of weeks ago that's done up to look like Philadelphia's Independence Hall. The bank seen above in Owensboro, KY, has the same design inspiration. That's Independence Bank, an ... um, independent bank based in Western Kentucky. They built this Independence Hall-inspired structure in Owensboro sometime around the year 2000, and it's become something of a local landmark. Personally, I wish they'd have put it downtown. It's a fairly accurate recreation of Independence Hall, though the bank's president told me at the time that the actual Independence Hall wasn't big enough, so they added an extra floor to the replica.
Speaking of Owensboro: There's news in Kentucky politics! Kentucky's governor race has concluded, and in a move I see as a surprise, my old Kentucky homeland has re-elected Democratic Governor Andy Beshear to a second term! I never would have expected this during the Covid pandemic, as Andy's been a pretty good governor in trying times, and Kentucky usually punishes its politicians for that sort of thing. But part of how Beshear came to office in the first place was the strength of his last name -- his father was an extremely popular two-term governor toward the start of the century -- and Andy himself is a very charismatic guy who's done a good job, even if he has made Kentucky's very large MAGA crowd mad. He only won by about 5,000 votes in 2019, but he upped that to 67,000 votes this time. I'm mentioning this on an Owensboro picture because he actually carried Daviess County. Democrats rarely carry Daviess County.
Kentucky's gubernatorial election is a bit off-pattern with most other places, in that it happens in an off-year before the Presidential race, and it's one of the only big, state-wide races in the country. Mississippi also elects its governor that year, and a few big-city mayors come up, but that's it. That tends to make national news outlets who don't know any better try to use Kentucky as a bellwether for what's going to happen the following year with the Presidency. (I talked a little about that tendency in this post in 2019.) The thread this time is that Democrats took the Kentucky governor's race and a bunch of local level races and some state legislative races in Virginia, and they won a couple of big referendums on culture issues in Ohio, so the national news people are logically saying that it's a disaster for President Joe Biden. Which ... what? I'm not sure of the logic. I think the idea is that good performance for Democrats in the shadow of a bunch of polls that say nobody likes Joe Biden means that people like Democratic policies but don't like the President. My own take is that of all places, Kentucky has absolutely no bearing on national politics, and that the connection between polls in general and the nature of reality has been thoroughly severed. A poll a year out from a Presidential election when we haven't even selected Donald Trump's jurors is irrelevant. Kentuckians just likes Andy Beshear. That's all that means.

History
In 1857, Alexander Gibb, a Melbourne gentleman, enlisted Andrew Cruickshank, a local merchant and pastoralist, to raise the capital to establish National Bank of Australasia with headquarters in Melbourne. The prospectus was published on 18 November 1857.[2] The legal work establishing the bank was performed by a predecessor of King & Wood Mallesons. Cruickshank became its first chairman while Gibb left after being passed over for the position of General Manager. Prior to the opening of the bank, several shareholders took an unsuccessful action in the colony's Supreme Court claiming that Cruikshank and several other directors had been appointed illegally.[3] The first branch opened in Melbourne on 8 October 1858.[4] The bank was incorporated by the Colony of Victoria on 24 February 1859.[5] The bank opened its first branch in South Australia the same year. [citation needed] Expansion to other Australian states followed, with branches opening in Tasmania (1859), Western Australia (1866), New South Wales (1885) and finally Queensland (1920).
