S.b.hoggs removals

I remember they used to use the old church building on Walkey bank Rd when i was a kid. I remember the brown lorries well. After Hoggs, the building became a gym. flats now I think.

It's all gone now mate, except for the house on Burngreve Road which was used as the main office. Hogg's yard & garage area on Rutland Road became a car park for Wigfalls. Happy memories for me..

s.b.hogg removals is back and open part group of frommetoyouremovals hoggs was a very good company its nice to see the vans around again

S. B, Hogg's removals.

Hey up, Please let it be put on record that my parents hired Hoggs removals on a couple of occasions.

1. 1965-Carter Lodge Drive, Hackenthorpe, to Newstead Rise, Birley.

2. 1968-Newstead Rise, Birley, to Crossland Drive, Gleadless Townend.

I think the removalmen wore brown coloured smocks. I wonder how much they charged. Was it a fixed rate for removals?

hi zakes I would think for the areas you mention it would have been by the hour they only did fixed rate for long distance jobs office jobs end what we called posh jobs by the way I worked at hogs during those years so I might have moved them small world (mick griffin)

There was a question asked recently on the Old Bus Photos web site about "Oggies Bus"

http://www.old-bus-photos.co.uk/?page_id=1293#oggies.

The Killamarsh Heritage Society website has the following quote from Ron Gee "I now have some extra facts about Hoggs bus service as detailed in Sheffield Transport by Charles Hall.

On P219 he writes “In 1932 an Application for a new local bus service was made by S.B.Hogg trading as Hogg’s Express Motor services for a license Between Sheffield and Ollerton via Killamarsh, Spinkhill, whitwell, cresswell and Cuckney.. Operation commenced on 3rd March 1933″. On P221, the book states that Abbey Lane Motor Services took over Hoggs services including the daily Dukeries Service between Sheffield and Ollerton. On P262 the book states that “During 1953 Abbey Lane Motor services was bought out by Sheffield United Tours. On 20th June 1953, East Midland provided a bus labelled “on hire to Sheffield United Tours” and commenced to operate service 46 to Ollerton".

Another contributor added "

Hi Ron,when i lived on the “White City” my mum and i used to catch the No 46 where Atkins shop was to Sheffield,she used to say “We’ll catch the Oggies bus into town”,i too always used that phrase, but never knew why the East Midlands bus was called by that name…after all these years it has now become clear …"

My question is, does anyone know whether Oggies bus service had any connection to the S B Hogg Removal company or was it sheer coincidence?
