History

Dudley started off as a mining town. Dudley developed into a suburb after World War II.

Dudley Public School

Dudley Public school opened in 1892 and is famous for having amongst its alumni two recipients of the Victoria Cross. In 1976, the Jeffries and Currey Memorial Library was opened by the Governor of New South Wales, Sir Roden Cutler, at Dudley Public School to honour the two ex-pupils who were decorated with the Victoria Cross during the First World War: Clarence Jeffries and William Currey.[1]
