These are a landmark on the local skyline. How long they will remain is uncertain with tyre manufacturing shifting to lower cost factories in Eastern Europe and the Far East. Large parts of the Goodyear site have been sold off for redevelopment. Goodyear was one of the major employers in Wolverhampton for many years.
