Where exactly is Broadlays?

Following the 1841 census "route" it appears to be close to Brockbury Hall ( Farm)

in 1851 census "route" Barton Court, Upper Mill and The Green are mentioned either side of Broadley.

I place it in the triangle between Colwall, Mill Lane to Colwall Green and Barton Court, probably as exact as I can be without a Tithe map for the period.

and of course this was a time before the Ledbury - Malvern railway line was laid down.

Barton Court to Colwall Green is on the turnpike road from Chances Pitch to the Wyches ( on the Malvern Hills)
