Jericho consists mainly of small terraced houses built for the working class of Oxford in the 19th century. By the 1960s it had become run down and there were plans for comprehensive redevelopment. This never happened and instead many of the houses were refurbished, although the worst cases were demolished and replaced by modern buildings; nowadays the area is populated largely by young professionals and is regarded as a prime example of urban regeneration. In this view, examples of old and new housing can be seen where Cranham Street meets Canal Street.
