		I moved to Wythenshawe 28 Brookfield Avenue the same as James Pemberton 29 in the famous winter of 194 and remember walking thru snow up to my knees queuing for coke and sink and bath wastepipes which were frozen for weeks.
		I remember Wythenshawe from when it was all green fields and farms, ponds and building sites and a magical playground for all us post war kids I remember the snow covered fields with hordes of rats jumping through the snow to reach the new houses where they could scour for food.
		So thanks Wythenshawe for making of me what I am today, it might not be a great deal but I'm comfortable with who I am, and good luck to everyone living and growing up in that wet and gritty estate.
