Cody's Granddad   52 #21 Posted November 14, 2022 I've never worked at Wiggys but around 1978 I was a postman and delivered to Henry Wigfalls house in Carsick Hill Lane in Fulwood. He was getting on a bit then and he used to have a chat outside his house as he would walk down the staircase which led up to his front door to save my legs.

wearysmith   141 #23 Posted February 4 I spent a couple of years in the mid-70s working at the Transport Department on Harvest Lane, just up from Mowbray St in Sheffield. Was a junior office clerk. The office was over the garage where mechanics repaired and serviced the company's vehicles. I remember a regular influx of Bedford H.A and C.F vans and Hillman Avenger Estates. One of the directors (Robert Morrell?) had a pink Porsche. The manager while I was there was a chap called Harry Berry. Interesting man. He and his wife used to go on the cruise ship Canberra regularly.  Some of the great, friendly, mechanics I recall are Barrie Cotton, Ted Witham and Barry Davenport and there was a marvellous fella in the same dept as me, Barry Ward, that got me in to Led Zeppelin - for which I will be forever grateful 😀.  I jumped ship and went to Bentley Bros for a quid an hour more 😀.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
