The link to Wayne Barratt of Slaughter and the Dogs is for an American investigative journalist who has been with Village Voice for over 20 years. Think there'sh been shome mishtake, barman...
Likewise the one for Mike Rossi, which links to a radio DJ in Philadelphia. I've just looked up his picture and will say that unless he's shed twenty years or so that is definitely not him.
Kevin Kennedy (Curly Watts in Corrie) did however come from Wythenshawe.
And (finally) I always thought that Johnny Marr came from Sale. Does that count as Wythenshawe? Never did when I lived there... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zebideedoodah ( talk • contribs) 00:53, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
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

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.

Which county did Wythenshawe form prior to Greater Manchester - Lancashire or Cheshire? Jhamez84 20:31, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks! I was confused as the area is in the deep south of Manchester. Google searches provide links to both Wythenshawe Lancashire and Wythenshawe Cheshire. Jhamez84 15:05, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
I think Manchester City Council bought the land off cheshire council as an overflow area for scrotes in the babyboom years after the war.
The land where Wythenshawe now stands may perhaps have been in Cheshire prior to the building of the estate in the 1920s, but the city of Manchester was previously a part of Lancashire and so when the land became part of Manchester, Wythenshawe thus became part of Lancashire. This was until 1974 when Manchester and the surrounding boroughs became the Greater Manchester area, which is still effective today.

That seems to settle it then. Up until 1931 Wythenshawe was part of Cheshire, and from 1931 until 1974 it was part of Lancashire. --

I've re-added Dr. John Blades as a notable resident (believing notable to mean 'noteworthy' and not necessarily 'famous', besides, having Dr.Blades on board may show that Wythenshawe can produce intellects and not just past members of the entertainment industry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ronnohof ( talk • contribs) 15:07, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
I'm wondering how accurate it is to describe Wythenshawe as a district. Surely the city of Manchester is the district and so Wythenshawe is a subset of that? From what I can gather, 'Wythenshawe' is the name given to a grouping of Manchester wards, where there was attempt to build a garden city south of Manchester. (See also here and here.) Any thoughts? Tong22 ( talk) 21:14, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
Having skimmed through the ward co-ordination pages for Baguley, Brooklands, Northenden, Sharston and Woodhouse Park, you'll find that Wythenshawe isn't once referred to as a 'district.' In fact, the most you get is either 'area' or 'town' or 'suburb'. A quote from the Sharston page: "It is one of five wards that make up the area known as Wythenshawe..." The same page mentions the ward in question forming "part of the garden city design", whilst the Woodhouse Park page explicitly refers to the area as a "garden city". As for the 'town' references, well the Baguley and Brooklands pages refer to a 'Wythenshawe Town Centre' in an address at the foot of the page, whilst the others opt for just Wythenshawe, So there isn't a clear cut definition for it, even from the council. Incidentally, the ONS doesn't currently identify Wythenshawe as a settlement in its own right either on this map here or on this table here, contrary to any human perceptions. Call me rigid, but the ONS is the ultimate source on what constitutes a settlement in this country and that's what I'm going off. I hope all this will explain where I'm coming from. So I ask again, is there not a more accurate term for Wythenshawe? Tong22 ( talk) 01:20, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

For many centuries the Tatton family owned Wythenshawe Hall and much land in what is now Wythenshawe. Manchester Corporation, which was in desperate need of land to house the city's rapidly increasing population, pressured Mr Tatton to part with the land in 1926. What was once farmland was transformed into one of the largest housing estates in Europe. People from Northenden are not considered to be part of Wythenshawe historically.
