Title: Where is Broadgreen?
Post by: Ardiles on Thursday, July 8, 2010, 08:12:51
I've not lived in/around Swindon for a long time now, but even still...I'm sure I never remember an area of the town called Broadgreen.

Where is it?  Looks fairly central from the picture in the article.  Manchester Road/Broad Street area perhaps?

You worried about getting caught up in the crackdown, Ardiles? :)

When I was a kid, there used to be a boxer from that area with a baseball bat leading the red light district crackdown.  That was a proper crackdown, that was.
