What happened to these coach companies?

Here is a scan from the 1973 Kelly's Directory showing local coach firms. One that isn't mentioned is L. & D. Hadfield whose depot was at 51 Montgomery Terrace Road near the Royal Infirmary. Old Mr Hadfield was interested in fair organs, traction engines, steam fairs etc. and he used to run cheap day excursions to these events. He also ran a haulage business, and this is how the firm is listed in the 1973 directory, the coach operation having ended by then.

Don't remember a Shaw's coaches in Sheffield past but I do know of a company with the same name who still operate from Whitley ( just off junction 34 of the M62 ) and have done so for a long time. Maybe they are descendents or related? Tel 01977 661214.

Like so many at the time probably sold out to Sheffield United Tours (as my grandfather did G E Whitleys coaches).

Stand corrected I think Jeffcock's sold out to Kirkby's at South Anston.

I'm sure there was a Shaws Coaches in the 1970's - I went to Bradfield School and I'm pretty sure the kids from Wharncliffe Side where bussed in by Shaws. Stannington kids had SUT and Hagues served the Loxley, Bradfield and Hollow Meadows areas.

This Shaws Coaches were a Barnsley based company.

Thankyou for the Info on Shaw's Coaches everyone

"Greyhound Luxury Coaches" were sitll there in the 1970s, to judge from the link to a Kelly's directory that hillsboro gave in post #25.

Jeffcocks coaches were taken over by Sheffield United Tours in June 1959. Their depot was on Balaclava Road and the coaches painted Green & Red.
