Housing in Akron Gate
The name for the housing development recalls the site's former use as a tyre factory and European HQ for Goodyear Tyres. Goodyear set up a plant on the site adjacent to the Stafford Road in the mid 1920s.

Clocktower on the Goodyear site
Two years on from the chimney demolition Image there is no sign of the housing and retail development. The clock tower is built on a former water tank structure possibly dating from the 1920s prior to Goodyear taking over and developing the site.

Former Goodyear Works
There are plans to build housing, shops and re-locate a primary school on to the site which was cleared in 2008. Goodyear opened a factory for their European operations on the site in 1927. The plant was overtaken by new factories opened in Eastern Europe and Far East.
