This article from the Derbyshire Times 21 May 1910 reports on the Salvation Army procession in Whittington. It sounds like a very well attended event and whilst not just covering Old Whittington the Primitive Methodist church in Old Whittington was represented under the leadership of Mr C Mettam. ( Mettam is a very well known name in Whittington).
The picture of the procession shows “the girls in pretty attire”.
