Broadway

Major avenue in New York running northwest from the tip of Manhattan and crossing Times Square at 42nd Street, at the heart of the theatre district, where Broadway is known as ‘the Great White Way’. New York theatres situated outside this area are described as off-Broadway; those even smaller and farther away are off-off-Broadway, the home of avant-garde and experimental works.

Broadway

Town in Worcestershire, England, 9 km/6 mi southeast of Evesham; population (2001, Broadway and Wickhamford) 4,460. Situated in the Cotswold Hills, at the foot of Broadway Hill, it is one of the most popular tourist centres in the region.

Broadway has 17th-century stone houses and a building said to have been the manor house of the abbots of Pershore. On top of Broadway Hill stands Broadway Tower, a late-18th-century folly from which much of the surrounding countryside can be seen.

We must cross Broadway again; gaining some refreshment from the heat, in the sight of the great blocks of clean ice which are being carried into shops and bar-rooms; and the pine-apples and water- melons profusely displayed for sale.
