The St Modwen Developments regeneration on the 88 acre former Goodyear tyre factory site has continued for many years, with housing and the relandscaped Wingfoot Park (now named Goodyear Neighbourhood Park and reopened in 2018), behind the camera. A fascinating nature conservation area there has been built with three linked pools functioning as an attenuation pond, by Ranger Drive. The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company is an American multinational tyre manufacturing company founded in 1898 by Frank Seiberling and based in Akron, Ohio.
