History

The building was designed in the Baroque revival style by architects Arthur Brewill and Basil Baily[2] as the headquarters of the 7th (Robin Hood) Battalion, The Sherwood Foresters and was completed around 1910.[1][3] The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to the Western Front.[4] The drill hall also served as the headquarters of the South Nottinghamshire Hussars.[3]

The battalion converted to become the 42nd (Robin Hoods, Sherwood Foresters) Search-Light Regiment, Royal Artillery in 1940.[5] 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.[5] Following the cut-backs in 1967, the unit converted back to become D (Robin Hood Foresters) Company, 3rd (Volunteer) Battalion, The Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment in 1971.[5] After the unit moved to Foresters House in Chilwell, the Derby Road drill hall was decommissioned and, it became a postal sorting office; it was marketed in 1985 and later converted for residential use.[3]
