A BEAUTIFULLY decorated old book was found last December in the Danske Bank (formerly the Northern Bank) in Kilrea, Co. Londonderry, while it was being cleared out for closure. It was an ‘Illuminated Address Book’ ¬– once an important symbol of achievement, presented on retirement, promotion or departure from a job. In the mid- to late-19th and early 20th Centuries, these limited edition books were traditionally given to prominent individuals, honouring their contribution to communities and organisations. However, the custom is all but defunct today. The book found in Kilrea’s bank has eight thick, card pages, bound in red hardback covers with gold leaf patterns embossed on back and front.
