The McIvor Times<\/em> printing business began in 1863 and continued until 2020.<\/p>\n

In later years this was confined to file printing and photocopying in the paper\u2019s High Street office, but the early days saw intricate hand-set work for a range of different clients.<\/p>\n

From dance cards to show society tickets and everything in between, these items were often colourful and always beautifully finished.<\/p>\n

Dance cards from 1913\/14.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Some of them were produced on the original hand-pulled Hopkinson & Cope press which survived a fire in 1865 and was still in limited use until the 1990s.<\/p>\n

A London-built Wharfedale press and then a Dawson Summit were also acquired as the business grew and the old technology was superseded.<\/p>\n

The Hopkinson & Cope Press was donated to the McIvor Historical Society in 2008 and is now part of their museum\u2019s permanent display.<\/p>\n

The historical society holds many examples of work by the McIvor Times<\/em> press.<\/p>\n

Dance cards reflect a pre-television era when balls were a welcome highlight for residents and scribbled names on dance cards often marked the beginning of lifelong unions.<\/p>\n

On a more sombre note, one of the most prized items is a silk booklet produced for a memorial service for King Edward VII in 1910.<\/p>\n
