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.

Overgrown
Located on the concourse of the Wythenshawe Forum, Overgrown was created by: Lizzie Rose Chapman.
"The design for this Bee was inspired by pollination, the bees' love of flowers and Wythenshawe itself, Manchester's original Garden City. You are encouraged to follow the Bees on their trails and explore Wythenshawe's variety of green spaces. At the Edible Transport Interchange, anyone can help themselves to the herbs, vegetables and fruit grown here, then simply throw them into a pot to create a delicious evening meal."
It is sponsored by Wyth Love from Wythenshawe.
"This beautiful Bee started its life on the Forum Concourse, in her very own garden, with smaller, but equally amazing, learning Bees. Once the Summer has ended, she will fly to her forever hive, in Wythenshawe's Edible Transport Interchange."

Little Bees at the Forum, Wythenshawe
The Forum centre opened in 1971. It houses a library, leisure centre, swimming pool, cafe and other amenities and has recently been renovated in a more modern style. For thirty years it also housed the Forum Theatre, but this closed in 2002; a health clinic and an adult education facility now occupy its space. The building has been remodelled to focus on four integrated service elements; leisure, adult learning, childcare and health on one site - provided by a variety of public and private sector partners. The inside now features a light, airy, central concourse which, as well as providing access to the various zones within the Forum, also features a one-stop reception area, a café, pharmacy and a newsagent. The entrances and concourse regularly incorporate public artworks designed by artists working with local people; ten of the “Bee in the City” mini-bees painted by local schoolchildren were on display when this photograph was taken.
