Hi Red. If you click the 'Quote' button on a post, type your reply after the   '    ' bit.  (y)
That way, your typing isn't within the blue quoted part. Hope this makes sense  ;)
Ah, thanks Fly, I wondered what I was doing wrong.

You mention Foresters party? If that's the case I would think that it was possibly Boythorpe Drill Hall, as that was the base for the Sherwood Foresters regiment.
  (y) Thanks, I will try and get a photo of it.  It’s been a long search, I was hoping someone would recognise it, albeit the photo must be from the 1920’s.

Hi Red, welcome to Chesterfieldonline.

I didn't take the picture from your thread on OCP, someone else must have posted it alongside the other pics in another thread.
Your thread makes it quite clear it isn't Ashgate.
Pic removed from here.

PS. I'm admin on that Facebook group  MD
Thanks Fly.

For starters.
From the Facebook group 'Old Chesterfield pics'
https://www.facebook.com/groups/oldchesterfieldpics/
Hi.  I see you have copied my photo from Old Pictures of Chesterfield FB group, the one showing the Sherwood Foresters party.  I would like to ask why you think this picture was taken in Ashgate Drill Hall?  My reason for posting on FB was to try to find out where it was taken as I have old family members in the photo.  We had previously discounted Ashgate Drill Hall as looking at the windows and roof line and the size of the hall it did not seem to fit.  However, if you have knowledge or anyone has other photos from a similar period that can prove or disprove, or have knowledge as to where else this photo could have been taken I would appreciate it.  I am typing on behalf of my 86 year old father who has been trying to answer this question now for a few, years.  Any knowledge would be great.
