  • Yes we needed a new college but the planners and architects could have incorporated the building within their plans and maybe used it as a common room or a community centre thus saving the building for posterity.

  • michplusdarren Comment on your video: WYTHENSHAWE THE BENCH Comment on your video: WYTHENSHAWE THE BENCH I thought if it was a listed building they couldn't knock it down ...shame to see it go really ...what's going to next though churches tree's it wont stop at the bench ....I know the college will be a good thing for all but when is it all going to stop i could think of better things for the money to go on ....and as for the metro link im against that .....

  • Most people in Wythenshawe thought that The Bench was a listed building after Willow Park Housing Trust used it as their headquarters. Although progress and developement has to be made at what cost ? Please leave your commments ??

  • my dad lived in this pub he was one ov the nutters but i loved him so sad to see this pub go :( R.I.P. Benchill pub

  • I,m sad to see it go. 53 years ago i used to sit on the step and my dad would bring me out a packet of smiths chips, i had fun searching for the little blue bag of salt and a lemonade to wash it down.....

  • Good video pics - shame no pics of the original benchill pub in it's glory days, past to present pics would of been nice

  • Get real - the Bench was a dump filled with nutters. Lived in Woodhouse Park for years so I know this place!

  • i worked there and was sorry to see it go ... but we needed a collage in da shawe ... so its part of the regen :)

  • I happen to know for a fact that there is going to be a new Wythenshawe campus for Manchester College put in place at this site, which is going to be very beneficial for Wythenshawe as a whole! Then ofcourse the Metro Link which has also been given the go ahead, i'm very happy all this is happening!
