Thank you to the Chadderton Historical Society for hosting such a brilliant event yesterday to mark 100 years since Broadway opened, where we unveiled a commemorative plaque to mark the occasion.
It was wonderful to see the children from St. Herbert’s school out in the playground cheering on proceedings, and the fantastic town crier added to the occasion well!
Since opening 28th February 1925, Broadway sparked the progress of Chadderton’s development and progress during the 20th Century, arguably the most ambitious and memorable achievement of the former Chadderton Urban District Council.
We are proud to reach this moment and of the progress we’ve made. While working hard to preserve and promote our rich local heritage like this, we must also look to the future to make sure local people have the high-quality and safe roads, trains, trams, buses and walking routes they deserve.
