1 Pound Northern Banking Company

The Northern Banking Company Limited was one of the six Ulster-based joint-stock banks still issuing their own notes in the early twentieth century, operating under the terms that allowed Irish provincial banks to continue circulation privileges long after similar rights had been extinguished in Britain. The company was absorbed into the Midland Bank-aligned Northern Bank in 1924, ending its note-issuing history entirely.

This series bridges the pre-war and wartime periods without any design change between them — a deliberate conservatism that makes precise dating within the 1908–1916 window dependent entirely on signatures and branch endorsements rather than printed date.
