The northern end of Wytham Street was built up in the years prior to the First World War, the development stimulated by the opening of Hinksey Halt on the nearby railway in 1908. Further south, behind the photographer, the houses are newer because the war halted building progress. At the end of the line of handsome houses in this view is the Church of St John the Evangelist, built 1899-1900.
