Pace - Tower Service Station, Brindley Road, Hednesford, Staffordshire WS12 4LL 5
This was an Oak branded service station up to 2012, maybe even a bit more recently. I was imagining it got its name from the radio tower nearby, but now I'm starting to think it might not be as just down the road there is a water tower. Having said that, on their own Facebook page, the user image is of the radio tower so that seems to suggest that's why the garage got its name. It's been under the same ownership since 1966, an amazing long run, as long as my life actually!
I found one image of it when Oak branded on Geograph - see here.

In that image the water tower I referred to can be seen.
Streetview also of course shows the garage in an era when it was Oak branded.
