Talk:Wythenshawe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Famous People

Harold H Corbett was born in Burma, lived in London so I believe, and died in Sussex... I havent heard about him being associated with Wythenshawe at all. TR_Wolf

...just to point out, I lived there and hated it. Horrible grim place. TR_Wolf HE WENT TO HEVELEY HEY YOU TOOL

[edit] Largest...

Whilst the article only says that 'Wythenshawe [..] is often referred to as the largest housing estate in Europe.', and thus is not technically contradicting this article, it might be nice if someone could clear up whether Wythenshawe or Becontree is the larger estate.

As the claim for the latter is seemingly based on population, perhaps Wythenshawe is geographically larger, thus explaining the confusion. I've never been to Becontree myself, but Wythenshawe isn't that densely populated, by comparison with tower block estates, so I can imagine it being spread over a larger area even if the respective populations are of the same order of magnitude.
