Help! In the middle of taking out a wall and have come across some type of plasterboard with hessian in it.... Do we need to worry about asbestos? Can anyone advise please?

Only way to know for sure would be to ship a sample of it off to a ukas accredited lab for testing. Prices probably start from around 25 quid. If you can't be bothered with that then work sensibly, wearing proper protective gear and saturate the boards wih soapy water to the point they're sodden and falling apart as this will stop fibres from becoming a dust cloud
 
Nothing to be concerned about! as that is plaster with scrim reinforcing bedded in it..quite common.
