1 Pound Ulster Bank

Ulster Bank Limited was a Belfast-based institution with deep roots in the Ulster provincial banking tradition, but its notes of this period were printed in London by Charles Skipper & East — the same firm responsible for numerous colonial and private bank issues across the British world. The arrangement was entirely typical of Irish private banking practice, where even regionally proud institutions contracted their security printing to established London trade printers rather than maintaining domestic facilities.

Charles Skipper & East had merged with Waterlow & Sons by the early 1930s, meaning later printings in this 1929–1934 window may have passed through a transitional production environment even if the imprint remained unchanged.
