Photographs kindly provided by Brian Jackson, a former member of Beeston (17th Nottingham) Boys Brigade, who now lives in Dorset and is a keen follower of this site.
He recalls an incident from that era, when the Brigade had attended the Annual Parade in Nottingham and a service at The Albert Hall. They had hired a Corporation bus for the
return and they all raced off the bus when they got back to Beeston - forgetting the bass drum that was under the stairs! It had to be retrived from the Depot.
Please get in touch if you can provide names or other details.
