The factory buildings were demolished but the iconic brick chimney was retained, being a local landmark and one of the last of its kind to remain locally. Construction of the new estate began in 2014 and the first houses were occupied by the spring of 2015, with the estate being almost complete by 2018. Commercial units and a care home have also been developed there.

The building has since been expanded.Until 1986, the village had a regular hourly bus service 564 between Sedgley and Wolverhampton via Penn Common.

On 1 August 2020, The Green Bus reintroduced a bus service 582 through the village on Saturdays only between Wolverhampton and Kidderminster via Wombourne and Penn on a commercial basis. This shoppers service ceased on 30 August 2020.
