Tyldesley - the village that disappeared
 |
| Pictured is water bailer, Harry McAlpine, colliery engineer, James Wilson and the colliery dog Rex at Tyldesley in the early 1950s. Harry and his wife Annie also ran the post office and general store at Tyldesley. |
Between 1888 and 1960 the area around Cullen Bullen hosted six underground coal mines, including Tyldesley Colliery which ceased operation in 1960. The village was largely abandoned by the mid 1960s and has all but disappeared from the landscape.

John Davis (1781-1848) - headstone
 |
| John Davis headstone |
Photo: KBCM
John died on July 2nd, 1848, and was buried on Dabee Station.
In 1958, a fallen headstone was resurrected on Dabee, on the northern bank of the creek that runs into the nearby Cudgegong River.
It is made of sandstone, and time has weathered the original inscription. A marble plaque attached when the stone was re-erected reads "Sacred to the Memory of John Davis, who departed this life July 2, 1819. Aged 67 years,"
It seems fairly certain that the date should read 1848, and this stone marks the resting place of the Lincolnshire convict whose descendants settled so many of the properties in the area.

We have here the Tong Bong Creek joins the Cudgegong River.
And in the left centre of the picture we have the second flower mill that was built in Rylstone and on the far left we have Shamrock’s Hotel or Shamrock’s Inn and a man was killed in the bar of Shamrock’s Inn and he was found about 2 miles along the Bylong Road and so there wasn’t any trouble they made it as if he had fallen off his horse.
In the centre we have Dr Howe’s house in Mudgee St in early 1860’s.
Ref: Transcript of the presentation by a Kandos High year 9 history student in 1976.
This photo is taken from the Bylong road looking south. You will notice that the railway hasn't come through yet. In the distance, right top hand corner is Hardwicke's store, below this is James Brown's house in Mudgee Street, coming down to the east is the Shamrock hotel and the Flour Mill. This should be in the late 1800's.
