Broadgate was the location of the Broadgate Hospital. The land the hospital was built upon was sold by nearby Broadgate Farm, the farm buildings are now converted into a small complex of luxury holiday cottages.[1] After the hospital had been demolished, the former hospital site was redeveloped by Bryant Homes to create the current hamlet.
