Map of Rylstone
This is a survey map compiled by Hardwick in the 1850’s. The town of Rylstone was developed as planned and on this map I have Dabee Street and Mudgee Street, the Cudgegong River, which was then known as the Cudgegong or Mudgee River, the first church was also the school house.
There is not much difference between this map and the large map of Rylstone today, because the town has developed along the lines that the people wanted, which is spread mainly over the river but the streets in the town itself are basically the same. The school where it is today now stands as the schoolhouse for the principal.

Australian Joint Stock Bank, Rylstone
The Auatralian Joint Stock Bank was known as the A.J.S. It came to Rylstone in 1874, opening in premises unrecorded. From 1877 to 1895, the bank occupied premises owned by Mr. W.J. Jackson. In 1895, it moved to the unoccupied Bridge View Hotel (shown above), as a tenant.(Ref; A History of Rylstone, by Bill Staff)
