Also known as the "Widas" (Widow's).
The pub stands at the busy five ways junction on the Himley to Dudley Road where Bull Street and Redhall Road lead into Gornal.
Not to be confused with the like named Five Ways in Lower Gornal.
Around 2016 the ground floor of the adjoining property on the corner of Cinder Road
which was previously a shop premises, was integrated into the pub layout to provide extra function space.
Closed 2023 and conversion into multiple flats were planned, however these plans have been
shelved and it is due to re-open as a pub later this year.
