The leafy suburb of Didsbury is well-known as one of Manchester’s most sought-after places to live. But one particular street, on the outskirts of the neighbourhood, is even more desirable than the rest.
Old Broadway is an exclusive, private cul-de-sac that was once home to Factory Records founder Tony Wilson and TV's favourite married couple, Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan. Judy has even described the 10 years they lived there watching their children grow up as the ‘happiest’ of her life.
Bordering Withington, just off the main drag of Wilmslow Road, Old Broadway is a tree-lined road with a grass verge running along the centre. It features two mini-roundabouts that have huge trees growing from them. There is even more greenery at the end of the street, where it leads to a park.
