What does Wythenshawe mean to those who know it best?
BBCThis year marks 100 years since Wythenshawe Hall was donated to Manchester Corporation.
At the time, the city was in urgent need of more housing.
In 1920 an urban planner called Patrick Abercrombie identified Wythenshawe as the only undeveloped land suitable for building a housing estate close to Manchester.
To turn his proposal into a reality, Ernest and Shena Simon bought Wythenshawe Hall from Robert Henry Grenville Tatton in 1926, which they donated to the city's corporation (now known as the council).
The surrounding land became Wythenshawe Park.
The idea was that people could be rehoused away from industrial Manchester into what became known as the "Garden City".
To celebrate 100 years, BBC North West Tonight has spoken to 100 people from the area about what Wythenshawe means to them.
