The company had frequent disputes with Halifax Corporation who had their own rival bus and tram services. Later things settled down and they were able to operate from the streets.

The company employed non-Union labour and was unaffected by the General Strike of 1926.

In 1928, they took over Hugh Brigg of Wilsden and ran services to Bingley.

In 1929, they took over the Calder Bus Company.

On 2nd May 1929, the company was bought by the London, Midland & Scottish Railway.

In 1930, it became Hebble Motor Services Limited.

In the 1950s, they took over several smaller companies.

Children:

  1. Sarah Helewell [b 1846] who was a worsted drawer

Helias son of Essolf de SothillRef H2824
[11??-11??]

(Modern: Helias Sothill)

Or Helie or Elias.

Of Scandinavian descent.

Son of Essolf.

He married Unknown.

Children:

  1. Reginald son of Helias de Sothill
  2. Michael de Sothill
  3. John de Sothill

About 1169, his brother Jordan son of Essolf de Thornhill had his inheritance in Sowerbyshire confirmed by Hamelin, Earl Warren, and Jordan granted a fourth part of it to Helias, and his heirs, and seven oxgangs of land in Stansfeld, and in Rottenstall, to hold of Jordan and his heirs, as of the first begotten, by right of foreign service.

Helias appeared in the Pipe Roll in 1166 fined 1 mark for concealing a plea of the Crown. His brother Richard de Tong was also fined 1 mark for the same offence.

Helias was listed in the Liber Niger Scaccario of 1166 as holding of Henry de Laci (Lacy) a quarter knight's fee.

He witnessed a charter (Ch. 69, EYC vol. 8) by Hamelin earl de Warenne to Matthew de Horbury, [1164-96].

Helias was the founder of the Sothill family, and the de Sothill name was used by his sons, but Helias appears as a witness to charters and in the Pipe Rolls as Elias son of Essolf.

The only time that a place is added to his name was when he witnessed two grants by Robert de Lacy as Elias de Tong [1177-1193]. His brother Jordan also used de Tong on one occasion, but the only brother who kept the name de Tong was Richard

Inter ludos, ut cohortes Haud crudeles – licet fortes Honor vobis sit plus auro!
Quisque gloriam pro Schola, Non pro sua Laude sola, Carpat ex victrici lauro.

Nonne nos Eboracenses? Nonne Hipperholmienses? Nonne annos superabit
Noster amor tam fraternus? Utinam foret aeternus! Quis nos unquam separabit

Hipperholme Picture HouseRef H1265
Recorded in 1913, when it was in the Hipperholme Conservative Club, and the proprietors were John Mitchell & Edward Myers.

In November 1913, Mitchell approached Leonard Shepherd, one of the directors of the Theatre de Luxe, Halifax, with a view to selling the business, because


he and his partner (Mitchell) had not got on well together
 

The sale went ahead after they had inspected the books and visited performances to check on the audiences. £750 was paid.

Leonard Shepherd and the Theatre de Luxe, Halifax sued for fraudulent misrepresentation and for breach of warranty.

It was subsequently noted that all the takings entries in the books were written in the same ink, suggesting that they might all have been written at the same time, and the attendance figures had been falsified by Mitchell distributing 1d tickets around the district. Myers said he had seen Mitchell making entries in the cash book.

Hodgekins & the GibbetRef H12
A ballad entitled Thomas of Reading written in the 16th century by the Elizabethan writer Thomas Deloney [1543-159?] tells the story of the origins of the gibbet.

A long time ago, a Halifax clothier called Hodgekins caught 3 thieves – one was called Wallis – and took them to the gallows to be hanged. Since Halifax was a small town, no-one wanted to hang the felons and Hodgekins offered to pay a poor neighbour to perform the execution, then he asked the man whose cloth had been stolen, but they and several others all refused. As a last resort, Hodgekins offered to free one of the thieves if he would hang the other 2. All 3 refused, and Hodgekins was obliged to release them. Some time later, a Franciscan monk asked Hodgekins why he was so down-hearted, and hearing the tale, the monk said that – with help of a carpenter – he would make an engine which would execute criminals without the need for a hangman ...

... and thus the gibbet was built

Recorded as Huneworthefelde and Honorsfield. There are various explanations of the origin of the name

  • The name comes from the fact that land here belonged to an Anglo-Saxon woman called Hunnorda
  • John Travis quotes an item in the Todmorden Advertiser which suggests that the name is derived from hunters' field
