New Police station at Wythenshawe Forum (to the left of shot). This architectural blueprint seems to be copied at other stations recently built in the Greater Manchester area (notably Swinton). The Blue Lamp on the top echoes a bygone era.

William Temple Parish Church, Wythenshawe
The Anglican Church of William Temple was opened in 1965 on the corner of Robinswood Road and Simonsway as the church of the Civic Centre. The mission was already well-established, having begun many years previously in Shadow Moss School Room, latterly operating in a dual-purpose building on Simonsway. The architect, George Pace, agreed with the proviso that he should not design a 'pseudo' building, but that it should be modern in concept. This he did and particular attention was paid to the acoustics with a view to music and drama being performed there. One of Pace's stipulations was that, as with all the churches he designed, there must be no plaques attached to the walls commemorating the dedication of the church or in memory of anyone, for he said he built his churches to the Glory of God. The only lettered stone is on the back wall of the church and it has on it the date of the consecration and a symbol, which is Pace's original sign for William Temple Church. http://www.wythenshawe.btck.co.uk/Churches/20thCenturyChurches
The Grade II listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1376597 church is dedicated to William Temple http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bio/61.html who was Bishop of Manchester, then Archbishop of York and finally Archbishop of Canterbury.
