Broadway is a charming village in Worcestershire, England. It is often called the "Jewel of the Cotswolds" for its picturesque street scenes, with its many honey-coloured Cotswold limestone houses.

Broadway developed as a stagecoach stop on the road between Worcester and London. Human habitation in this area goes back to the Stone Age. Members of the Worcestershire Young Archaeologists Club have uncovered Mesolithic flints as well as domestic waste from the Roman and medieval periods.

Due to its importance as a stopover point on the main street, the village was named after the street. Today the village has a concentration of antique shops. It attracts a steady stream of domestic tourists with its dainty shops, pubs and bed-and-breakfast lodges.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
