ABOUT JERICHO - VIDEOS
Our Jericho
Our Jericho is a slice of life in Jericho in 2019. It was inspired by the 1974 TV programme Open Door Jericho
This film has been produced by one of the original makers, Maggie Black, with director/editor Nicola Josse of Film Oxford. Forty-five years on, Our Jericho also stars many current local residents and canal boat dwellers, along with its magnificent church, its school, community activities, businesses, pubs, artists and singers.
Margaret Thatcher used to live here?
In her Oxford days, she lived at 12 Richmond Road. It is alleged she shared the house with two red-hot communists who lived on a diet of sausages. This may account for her later views on socialists and known dislike of sausages.
Who owns the houses?
In Jericho in 2011, only 21% of households were owner occupiers. Instead, many more people rented their homes: 58% from private landlords and 20% from ‘social’ landlords, mostly the City Council.
