After the dust had settled
Goodyear's chimney has disappeared from the skyline and the site is clear for development. The spectators who have lived with the sight of the chimney throughout their lives disperse. Goodyears have been manufacturing on this site since the 1920s.

Last moments of a local landmark
The Goodyear chimney has stood here since the 1920s. Tyre manufacturing has moved to cheaper locations leaving only a small operation on a corner of the site. The remainder is to be redeveloped for housing and retail use.
A large crowd has gathered on a Sunday morning to see the demolition of the chimney, the last building on the site.

Goodyear's Clocktower
Grade II listed 1920s clocktower on the former Goodyear factory site. Supposedly this will become a feature amid the housing development but currently languishing behind a new Aldi supermarket.
