Broughton, Milton Keynes

Broughton is a historic village in North Buckinghamshire that has been a constituent element of Milton Keynes since the latter's designation in 1967; a civil parish; and modernly a suburb and new district of the 'city'.〔Formally, Milton Keynes is still a town. However, since it is an amalgam of many towns and villages, the local custom is to use the term 'city', albeit loosely〕
==History and Location==

The name is Old English and meant ''village by the brook''. In the Domesday Book, it is listed as owned by a Walter Giffard and the tenant was a Hugh de Bolbec. In the 6th century, its name was spelt ''Brotone'', which is still its customary pronunciation. The original Northampton to London turnpike came through the village (to join Watling Street (the A5 road ) near Woburn).〔('Parishes : Broughton' ) – Victoria History of the Counties of England, A History of the County of Buckingham: Volume 4 (1927), pp. 303–308. Date accessed: 24 August 2009〕 The current main route, the M1 motorway, is very near and Junction 14 is barely half a mile away.
The Milton Keynes grid road, Portway (H5), forms the district's northern boundary and Tongwell Street (V11) provides its western. The section of the old turnpike, once the A50, is now part of the A5130. The original route through centre of the old village, named 'London Road', was bypassed in the early 1970s, the newer route runs between it and the another MK district, Brook Furlong, and provides the eastern boundary. Finally, Chaffron Way (H7), provides the southern boundary: in mid-2009 this was extended to meet the A5130 and was opened to traffic in March 2010.
The district can be split into at least three areas. The original Broughton village forms part of a conservation area at the northern end, bounded by the brook and the A5130. Broughton Atterbury is an area of new build housing, predominantly between the Eastern side of the brook and the V11 grid road: this area has recently been completed and is awaiting final road surfacing. Broughton Gate is a new area, part of the Milton Keynes Eastern Expansion area and covers the area to the west of the brook. The iconic cable-stayed bridge is one of two main road crossing across Broughton Brook, the third and newest is the newly completed H7 extension between Broughton and the neighbouring district of Kingston.
