Goodyear chimney
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Goodyear chimney was a landmark on the Goodyear factory on Stafford Road, Wolverhampton, England.[1] It was 200 feet (60 m) high and weighed 3,000 long tons (3,000 t).[2]
Work started on building the chimney in October 1927, with the mayor of Wolverhampton laying the first brick.[3] In 2008 the factory and chimney were demolished. An Oxley primary school pupil and a former Goodyear worker had the privilege of pressing the firing button.[1]
