Background
History
The building was designed in the Baroque revival style by architects Arthur Brewill and Basil Baily as the headquarters of the 7th (Robin Hood) Battalion, The Sherwood Foresters and was completed around 1910. The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to the Western Front. The drill hall also served as the headquarters of the South Nottinghamshire Hussars. This unit evolved to become the 577th (The Robin Hoods, Sherwood Foresters) Search-Light Regiment, Royal Artillery in 1947 and the 350th (The Robin Hood Foresters) Heavy Regiment, Royal Artillery in 1955. Following the cut-backs in 1967, the unit converted back to become D (Robin Hood Foresters)…
