Edward Tootal Broadhurst

Sir Edward Tootal Broadhurst, 1st Baronet, DL, JP (19 August 1858 – 2 February 1922) was a director and eventually chairman of Tootal Broadhurst Lee, one of the largest cotton manufacturers in Manchester. He was also the chairman of the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank, and a director of the London and North Western Railway and the Atlas Insurance Company. Its mills included Sunnyside Mill in Bolton, and Ten Acres Mill and Hemming Works near Manchester. Broadhurst's main responsibility in the company was on the finance committee of which he became chair in 1900; in 1907 he became company chairman. Broadhurst donated land in Moston to Manchester Corporation in 1920, as an offering of thanks to the men and women of Manchester for the work they had done in the First World War, the location becoming known as Broadhurst Park. The football ground of F.C. United of Manchester was built in the area in 2015, also called Broadhurst Park.

Broadhurst was created a baronet, largely for his local war work, on 4 February 1918. The baronetcy became extinct upon his death as he and his wife had no children. He left an estate of £149, 903.
