Overgrown Bee

Overgrown was created by: Lizzie Rose Chapman and sponsored by Wyth Love from Wythenshawe. "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." The Bee started its life on the Forum Concourse SJ8287 : Overgrown, in her very own garden, with smaller, but equally amazing, learning Bees. Once the Summer had ended, she moved to her forever hive, in Wythenshawe's Edible Transport Interchange.

Former bus garage, Bradnor Road, Manchester

By G. Noel Hill, City Architect, 1938-42. A very innovative building. "A huge clear span of 296 by 185ft covers spaces for 100 buses". The concrete exterior employed the Chisarc system. "On completion it was handed over to Messrs. A.V. Roe for building Lancaster bombers." Grade II* listed. It now sits in the Sharston Industrial Area and appears to be used for something.
