Bannermans the Tobacconist & Barbers
Bannerman Bros
MESSRS BANNERMAN BROS – 1900
The establishments that receive much attention and receive such deservedly at this festive season are the two fine shops of Messrs Bannerman Bros. This firm has kept pace well with the growth of Kalgoorlie and has helped very considerably towards making the character of tobacconists establishments a gratifying feature of the commercial section’ of the goldfields metropolis. Some really choice and beautiful goods are displayed by Messrs Bannerman Bros in their admirably appointed windows.
Bannerman Bros had shops at 51 Hannan Street and 38 Burt Street Boulder. Sadly the Waddington’s Building where 51 Hannan Street was located is now no more, and a new building is on this spot. The location is now where the RAC is situated.

Owner at Outback Family History
My name is Moya Sharp, I live in Kalgoorlie Western Australia and have worked most of my adult life in the history/museum industry. I have been passionate about history for as long as I can remember and in particular the history of my adopted home the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. Through my website I am committed to providing as many records and photographs free to any one who is interested in the family and local history of the region.
Very interesting. Would love to know if they came to Australia while my branch of the family went to Canada. Have to relations somehow down the line. Thanks for the information. Now that I live in WA, I haven’t heard of too many Bannerman last name.
