Bonfire night 1965
Cine film by Jim Wright
November 5, 1965. Local kids build a bonfire in the old recreation ground at the top of Jericho Street, now the school playground. the City Council regularly remove all the rubbish, but the kids just get some more to build it up again. Finally it produces a fine blaze, with some singed sausages, and fingers.
How many people live in Jericho?
In 2011 Jericho had a population of 1,400 residents living in households. There are no communal establishment residents. There has been little change in the total number of residents since 2001.
Why Jericho still has such a mix of houses?
Jericho's intriguing mix of housing today owes a lot, to the Residents' Association in the 1960s and 1970s which together with the then Vicar and some local councillors resisted plans to bulldoze the whole area and turn it over to offices and light industrial use.
