Oxford’s hipster neighbourhood

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.

Where the community centre came from?

The centre was built at the end of the 19th century as the Church Institute for St. Barnabas.
