Wythenshawe

Wythenshawe est un district du sud de Manchester, en Angleterre, qui abrite 66 000 habitants. Jusqu'en 1931 le district fait partie du comté du Cheshire, mais il est ensuite transféré à celui de la ville de Manchester qui a commencé à y bâtir des logements sociaux à partir de 1920 pour enrayer le développement des bidonvilles. Le district est composé des quartiers de Baguley, Benchill, Peel Hall, Newall Green, Woodhouse Park, Moss Nook, Sharston, Northenden et Northern Moor. Les footballeurs anglais Marcus Rashford et Cole Palmer, le boxeur Tyson Fury et l'acteur John Bradley-West sont nés dans ce district.

Benchill

Benchill is an area in the Wythenshawe council estate 8 miles (13 km) south of Manchester city centre, in England. In 2000, Benchill was named in the Index of Multiple Deprivation as the most deprived ward in England. Following a review by the Boundary Committee for England, Benchill was disestablished as a local government ward in 2003, and the area divided between the neighbouring wards of Sharston, Woodhouse Park, and Northenden. Benchill gained national media attention in February 2007 when then-Leader of the Opposition David Cameron visited the estate and was targeted by a group of youths, one of whom made a gun gesture with his hand towards him. The incident was photographed by the press.
