Anyway, there's already a Broadgate in Oldham (and Nottingham and
Lincoln and ...)

Broadgate in Nottingham is a small street in Beeston miles from anywhere
you'd expect a railway station. You didn't mean Broadmarsh, did you
(always reminds me of a cross between Broadmoor and Belmarsh).

As a steet, I'd picked it as a (probably) more established use of the
name Broadgate than a "here today, gone tomorrow" [(c) Robin Day]
office development.
