History

In 1915, a former school building from Tannymorel was relocated to Mount Colliery. [3] Tannymorel Colliery State School opened on 17 September 1915. In 1922, it was renamed Mount Colliery State School. It closed in 1968. [4] It was located at 21 Roach Street ( 28°17′11″S152°17′05″E / 28.2863°S 152.2846°E / -28.2863; 152.2846 (Mount Colliery State School (former)) ). [5] [6]

Methodist church services were being held in private homes from at least December 1913. [7] Fund raising to build a Methodist church was underway by June 1914. [8] By October 1914, land for the church had been purchased. [9] The stump-capping ceremony for Mount Colliery Methodist Church was held on Wednesday 27 January 1915. [10] On Sunday 7 March 1915, the church was officially opened by Reverend Charles Martin (chairman of the Downs District Methodist Church). Although built by the Methodists, the church was available for use for any Protestant worship. [11] [12] The first couple to be married in the church were Arthur Collins and Millicent Bolton on 21 April 1915. [13] It was subsequently[ when? ] sold and relocated to 15 Oak Street, Tannymorel, where it is used as a private residence. [14]

The Church of England building was damaged in a cyclone in December 1915. [15] St Augustine's Anglican Church was dedicated on 14 September 1941 by Archbishop William Wand. It closed circa 1989. [16] It was at 17 Roach Street ( 28°17′09″S152°17′04″E / 28.2858°S 152.2844°E / -28.2858; 152.2844 (St Augustine's Anglican Church (former)) ). The property was sold in August 1990 for $6,000.
