Wythenshawe

Wythenshawe (/ˈwɪðənʃɔː/; pop. 86,000) is a district of south Manchester, England.

Historically in Cheshire, in 1931 Wythenshawe was transferred to the City of Manchester, which had begun building a massive housing estate there in the 1920s to resolve the overpopulation and deprivation in its inner-city slums. With an area of approximately 11 square miles (28 km), at one time Wythenshawe was the largest council housing estate in Europe, although private home ownership in the area has grown.
