While trying to siphon off of the Tenth Doctor's emotional pain, the Reach deposited him in the Powell Estate shortly before its opening. (COMIC: Revolving Doors [+]James Peaty, Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor (Titan Comics, 2017).)
Rose Tyler first met the Doctor on Maddock Way. Though Rose did not meet the Ninth Doctor properly for another few months, on 1 January 2005, she had a brief conversation with the Tenth Doctor as part of the Doctor's "final reward", on the side of the road, past Maddock Way Chemist. The Doctor commented that she was "gonna have a great year", then returned to his TARDIS, parked on Maddock Way, to regenerate. (TV: The End of Time)
