2008 Geoff Chapman advises: Following the sale of the premises in the 1970's, a pharmacy operated in the ex-Branch for a number of years. The premises are now an extremely well maintained private residence. Also took photo of ex-Aberdeen branch building/residence and obtained info on use after closure. Also took photo of shopfront to which the branch relocated in the 1970's. Will send photos later

Andrew Watts says: "I took some shots of the Adaminaby building on the same family holiday in 2007 as the Ariah Park photos below. I have also discovered some colour slides my grandfather took of the building being moved in 1956. The slides have been protected and the colour looks so vivid they could have been taken yesterday." | Adelong
