DazBob Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Cleartone was the one facing Wynsors shoe place? Think the one at the bottom on the Halliwell Rd junction was Motorwolrd or something like that. They just did car stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to that it was Canning Street Esso petrol station The one at the junction was originally a Comet store and it sold records and tapes. Think you are right that it then became Motorworld when Comet moved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitestar Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Did Cleartone fit car ice in the 80s?, Just asking as can remember driving all the way to Transound near Maine rd to get a radio cassette+ speakers fitted in a VW LT31. Would have saved me a journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
