Storage silos and conveyors at Goodyear's factory
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.

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.

Rear of former offices at the Goodyear site
The former Goodyear European HQ buildings were occupied by Promise Finance until the firm passed into receivership in 2008. The building will be demolished to make way for a Hungry Horse pub and restaurant. Following recent changes in government legislation the developer's Greene King will not be required to provide £25000 for public art on the site. It was said that this would render the scheme non viable.
