alexander874 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Small operator based on one of the roads that ran between Penistone Rd and Park View Rd , I think they survived into the 1960s with a grey/blue Bedford OB . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brinman Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I can remember a coach company in Upperthorpe I think were called Mills Coaches. Remember that June Mills was in my sisters class at Upperthorpe school in the 50s. Remember going on an evening trip into Derbyshire and finished up at the Lathkildale Hotel. Just wondered if anyone can remember this operator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Person6 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Who remembers Hirst & Sweeting in Holme Lane? It always amazed me how the drivers got the coaches through the narrow entry into the yard. The sign "Coaches" is still visible over the archway, or it was last time I looked. Crosslands was a name from the mid/late sixties. I remember the sons names from my cycling days- Michael and Peter. I think the firm might have been a one man band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stpetre Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Was there a coach company -1960's or so- in Poole Road (or thereabouts), Darnall ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 The sign "Coaches" is still visible over the archway, or it was last time I looked....Yes, I think the "COACH ENTRANCE" sign is still there....Crosslands was a name from the mid/late sixties...The 1965 Kelly's Directory shows "W. Crossland & Sons" at 72 Whitehouse Road and "M.L. Crossland & Son" at 126 William Street, Broomhall as coach proprietors. A 1954 directory shows Dennis Crossland as a coach proprietor at 130 William Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Hurst & Sweeting coaches on Holme Lane we used to go on Sunday School trips with them, G.E.Whiteleys coaches used to take us to school Worrall to Loxley in the mid 50s.
