Deposited by Karen McCarthy, originally living in New Zealand but originally from from Limerick. Karen is the granddaughter of Katherine Bolton, who sold the pub and grocery shop in 1985.

This long narrow book contains the names and addresses of customers who were purchasing items of credit. Kathleen Bolton wanted to destroy the ledgers when selling the pub, but her son in law, Desmond McCarthy, took them to preserve them for the future. They were left to Karen McCarthy when Desmond McCarthy died.
