Chalfont Road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chalfont Road is a road in Walton Manor, North Oxford, England.[1]
The road runs north–south between Frenchay Road to the north and Polstead Road to the south. To the west is Hayfield Road and to the east is Woodstock Road. The houses in Chalfont Road have been described as "small large house(s)" as opposed to the "large small house(s)" in the Southmoor Road area to the southwest.[2]
History
Houses in the road were originally leased between 1890 and 1904 as part of the North Oxford estate of St John's College.[1] The houses were nearly all designed by Harry Wilkinson Moore.[3][4] The provision of a tram service from the centre of Oxford to St Margaret's Road in 1882 made it possible to expand the building of the estate further north to Chalfont Road and Frenchay Road.[1]
