Jericho

Showing the Great Clarendon Street/Albert Street junction. Jericho, an area of tightly packed Victorian terraced housing (interspersed with the occasional more modern building) sandwiched between Walton Street and the Oxford Canal, was originally named after a local pub - although it is sometimes said that it was so-called because the houses were jerry built. Although originally a working class district, its proximity to central Oxford has meant inevitable gentrification.
