zakes Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) ---------- Post added 27-08-2014 at 13:10 ---------- Hi Mick, My father in law has advised me that doug passed away in 1994.

oldrowley Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 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?

noza Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hi anita. I found this page to show my dad who you know pretty well. Almost all the names ive read out to jim he remembers. I use to go out on the vans with him when I was just a kid. Great memories ! I ended up working with him at several removal companies. He is the one and only my hero. Melvin N. !

Deerlands Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hiya noza. Hope your Mom and Dad are keeping well. Worked with your dad for quite a while, at Wilcock and Hoggs. We always called him the magpie. As everytime he came back from a removal he always had lots of items. We still send each other christmas cards. When I meet up with Michelle your dads name always crops up.. Next time we are in Sheffield we will try and call in and see them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
