Bank House - The
The Bank House is located at Derby in Tasmania's north east.
The Bank House is a National Trust classified property circa 1888 and is the oldest remaining bank of timber construction in Tasmania. It ceased trading as a full-time bank on February 28, 1918. It remained a part-time branch until 1991. It now houses a large and diverse range of antiques, crafts, and bric-a-brac.
Derby became a mining boom town soon after the Krushka brothers discovered tin there in 1876. From then until 1945 there were many famous mines around the town. In Derby, you can also see a mining shanty town which has been created in the school grounds. It is complete with general store, blacksmiths shed, mine office, butchers shop, a printing office, the gaol and huts and cottages.
Enjoy the mountains, rainforests and old tin mines that surround Derby. The town is approximately 90-minutes’ drive (104 kilometres/65 miles) north-east of Launceston.
