The Evenlode Tower, and its sister, the Windrush Tower, visible to the left in the photo, are 15 storey tower blocks built in the early 1960s on Blackbird Leys Road and named after rivers that flow into the Thames near Oxford. Each block has 60 flats. The tower blocks do not fit in with Oxford City Council's long term vision for social housing, and could possibly be demolished within the next fifteen years.
