I finally added the section illustrating all the recorded Bank of Ireland reduced size (sometimes also called 'square') One Pound notes. The listing is missing pictures of some of the recorded dates. Hopefully these will be filled in over time.

Finally added the picture gallery of Bank of Ireland One Pound notes by date. It took a bit longer to get it together than I expected. All the known dates are listed, along with an image of every date I have come across.
Submissions of missing dates are welcome.

I am working on similar galleries of the 1918–1928 notes of the other banks also—we're on a roll here!

The picture gallery of these notes looks good, just been looking through it. A pity some of the scans arent great. Still, like with collecting you'll get improvers as it goes along. hopefully all the dates will turn up before too long.

Gaps are filling in slowly, it's gonna take a while to complete the dates.
Good to see progress.

Thanks to the board member who emailed me these two scans:

Bank of Ireland £1, 26 Aug 1918. Prefix A36
Image

Bank of Ireland £1, 21 Sep 1920. Prefix B45
Image

This brings our total number of notes recorded to 68, with 53 prefixes recorded.
We can also infer two more dates from the B45 prefix note, and have added those in green.

I have noticed a minor change that occurred, probably during rather than just after the A/91 prefix run - the prefix and serial numbers are set lower, presumably to avoid being printed over the underlying text. A couple of scans attached to illustrate the point. All A/92 notes and all so far seen beyond that have lower set prefix/serials.

You're right! I just scrolled through all of the examples in the date listings, and the gap between the date and serial numbers has been reduced so that the number falls into the blank portion of the note.

Nice find!

Here is the A91 from the date listings

Here is a Bank of Ireland £1 dated 18th Sep. 1920 with the signature of A.G. Fleming. This one is missing from the photo gallery on Irishpapermoney but it is mentioned that the date was previously recorded.

A very nice find! This date is one of the dates which I derived based on the known patterns of Bank of Ireland banknote printing for its old notes - which is that of one prefix per date!
Added to the website :)

Just spotted this unrecorded date for Bank of Ireland £1 notes. This note appeared recently on ebay.

Nice one - thanks for that. It is always nice to fill in a completely blank entry!

Here's the same note, now in another auction and looking like it's been to the laundrette!

Looks like the note received an extensive 'makeover' :)
