Last moments of a local landmark
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.
