Performance NotesThis was the last event in 1939 as the Hall would close for a year due to the threat of bombing raids during the Second World War.

Robinson and Sons Ltd was founded in 1839 by John Bradbury Robinson in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. The company started making pill boxes and grew to become a major packaging and healthcare business. By 1939 the company had a worksforce of 3,500 people.
