The Five Ways Garage was opened in 1965 as part of the T. Wall (Garages) franchise which started out as 'Worcester Car Sales' in 1955. Their commercial vehicle business had already been established at the Cinder Road Garage, Gornal Wood.
The T. Wall dealership in Lower Gornal focused on the sale of both new and used BMC 'Morris' cars, with the inclusion of MG and Wolseley vehicles at a later stage.
