Abstract: |
Birmingham Archaeology undertook a programme of historic building recording in August 2007 at the Goodyear Tyre Factory, Stafford Road, Wolverhampton in advance of demolition works associated with the redevelopment of the site for mixed-use purposes. A total of 20 buildings were examined, ranging in date from the early 20th century to the early 1990s, tracing the development of the factory site from its acquisition by Goodyear in the mid-1920s. The phasing of the site has been greatly enhanced by a series of dates design drawings and photographs held at the Wolverhampton Archives and Local Studies collection. A number of the recorded structures were found to be remnants of a former enamelware manufactory, established on the site by the Scottish company of Macfarlane and Robinson in the early years of the 20th century, and included a four-storey clock tower which is to be retained within the proposed development of the site. |
