JERICHO COMMUNITY CENTRE
Where we are
Opposite St Barnabas Church
To reach the Community Centre you should head for Walton Street which is just north-west of the city centre and then take one of the roads down through Jericho, such as Cranham Street or Great Clarendon Street. The Centre is a Victorian building on the corner of Canal Street and Cardigan Street - diagonally opposite St. Barnabas Church.
We are in the Jericho residents parking zone, with limited parking opportunities. Unfortunately the Centre has no parking spaces.
Where the name Jericho comes from?
The name Jericho is probably taken from the parable of the Good Samaritan. Traditionally the name was given to places where travellers who arrived after the town gates had closed at sunset could find lodgings overnight.
What kind of households we have?
According the to 2011 Census, almost half of Jericho households – 46% – consisted of only one person, 24% consisted of couples with or without children, 7% were student households, and 11% were other multi-person households, while 6% were single-parent households.
