Looking south-west towards Ranger Drive and Ohio Gardens on a dull November afternoon. The attenuation pond (balancing pond) is divided into three stepped and linked pools. Top right is the settlement pool, which filters out sediment, lower and to its left is a reed pool which helps to clean the water. Lower still and in the foreground is the main storage pool, which has an outlet off to the right. Image] 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), off to the left. The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company is an American multinational tyre manufacturing company founded in 1898 by Frank Seiberling and based in Akron, Ohio.
