....A little of their History
Queen Victoria was on the throne when a band, the fourth oldest in the Salvation Army,
was founded in Nottingham in 1880.
Then known as Nottingham 1 Band it faced opposition in the early years and difficulty obtaining
instruments, but out of adversity emerged a band with 40 members who proudly marched the streets, which were often lined with city folk enjoying the spectacle.

The Salvation Army was founded by William Booth.
The Salvation Army was founded by William Booth.
In May 1912 William Booth, founder of The Salvation Army, made his last public speech. He said:
"While women weep as they do now, I'll fight;
while little children go hungry as they do now, I'll fight;
while men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I'll fight;
while there is one drunkard left,
while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets,
while there remains one dark soul without the light of God,
I'll fight - I'll fight to the very end."
