Whitehall TV was an old-school television repair shop across from the former Clusters Of Whitehall just about where Bush River Road turns into Tram Road. I don't really know anything about the place, but I do know that people rarely get TVs fixed today as they don't have tubes or really any replacable parts at all anymore, which can't have helped things.

Google reviews suggest the place has been closed at least seven months, and commenter JohnR thinks it's about a year, so I'm just going to put 2022 as the date.

(Hat tip to commenter JohnR)

UPDATE 8 September 2023: Change reference "Tram Street" to "Tram Road".

UPDATE 9 October 2023 -- Here are some post closing shots:

  1. JohnR is correct. It's been about a year since it closed. I reported it back then, but it must have gotten overlooked.

    Slight correction though, it's Tram Road - not Street.

  2. This shop was run by Wayne Norris, who passed away in January of this year. I helped provide music for his funeral. I didn't know him personally, but it sounded like he was a really good and decent individual.

  3. I found Wayne Norris's obituary after Payne spoke of providing music for his funeral...I don't think I ever sat foot in the building despite passing by all the time (or if I did it's the type of thing I can count on one hand)...the obituary states that the business got its start in 1976 so it had a ≈46 year run.

  5. @Gypsie -- FIxed.

    Yeah, sometimes I miss things.

    (Though that's not as bad as when I do a closing and find out I already did that one!)

  6. The building is being fitted to become a laundromat. A lot of the machines have already been installed and there is a roadside sign stating it will open soon though there is no specific name yet.
