All four corners of the junction between the two roads were provided with shops as part of the design when Broadway was built in the late 1920s. There were traditionally a few niggles between those shops on this (Manchester) side of Moston Lane East and those on the north side which benefited from rather lower business rates from Oldham council. Under various names, a chip shop and newsagent have been in business in the same premises for at least 50 years. The curry take-away is rather more recent.
