  • Memories of Withington from WWII Onwards
    1 Memories of Withington from WWII onwards The interviewee, whose early memories are of Withington during WWII, wishes to remain anonymous Interview: April 10th 2015 by Ruth Shepherd This is about the house which was bombed on Parkville Road – a house on the left of the passage as you face Parkville Road. That was bombed in 1940. It was bombed, I think, during the night and we had an air raid shelter in the garden. I was only about 4, and I remember during the war when there was an air raid my father used to comeup to my bedroom and carry me down outside into the air raid shelter. And it was particularly fierce the bombing one night and there was this terrific explosion which we heard and my mother, my father and I were in the shelter. My mother was very distressed because she thought it was so loud it must have been our house which was bombed. When the all-clear siren went the next morning, my father went out of the shelter – it was underground and there were steps down and steps out - and I remember him saying, ”It’s alright, love, the house is still here.” We found out it was a house in Parkville Road and also a house in Arnfield Road– number 4 Arnfield Road - which was occupied by people called Gadsby. They were in the shelter and they were not harmed. I don’t know what happened to the people in the Parkville Road house which was bombed. I don’t know whether they were killed or what.

    Millington, Steve and Roberts, Gareth and Steadman, Chloe and Parker, Cathy and Quin, Simon and Ntounis, Nikos (2019) Vital and Viable With- ington. Project Report. Institute of Place Management. Downloaded from: https://e-space.mmu.ac.uk/626241/ Version: Published Version Publisher: Institute of Place Management Please cite the published version https://e-space.mmu.ac.uk Vital and Viable Withington October 2019 – V2 Foreword There are a number of structural developments currently impacting traditional retail and district centres in the UK, such as the growth in out-of-town and online retailing. However, whilst much research focuses on reversing the fortunes of city and town centres, the project on which this report is based revolves around better understanding how to improve the vitality and viability of Manchester’s smaller district centres- including Withington. Based on secondary data, a primary audit of Withington, meetings with Withington’s Neighbourhood Manager and community partnership, a workshop with 40 local stakeholders, and footfall data, this report explores Withington’s activity patterns, in relation to the IPM’s ‘footfall signature types’. It also outlines the centre’s key strengths and weaknesses by drawing upon the IPM’s ‘Top 25 Factors’. It concludes by detailing what stakeholders in Withington can do going forwards to improve its vitality and viability, in relation to the IPM’s ‘4Rs’ framework. About the Institute of Place Management The Institute of Place Management is the professional body for people involved in making, maintaining and marketing places. As part of Manchester Metropolitan University, the Institute of Place Management is dedicated to supporting people who serve places, providing them with unbiased research, continuing professional development, qualifications, conferences, events and networking opportunities.

  • 'After Housing Costs' Child Poverty Rate from Highest to Lowest
    Notes: This spreadsheet ranks wards in Greater Manchester by their 'after housing costs' child poverty rate from highest to lowest. This is done using data published by End Child Poverty in 2019. The data also ranks areas based on the proportion of the population in a ward classified as black and minority ethnic (BAME) in census data. The higher the proportion of people who are BAME in a ward the higher the rank. This data shows that areas with the highest BAME populations in Greater Manchester are often the areas with the highest rates of child poverty.
