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.

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.

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.

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.
