Plantation Road

Last updated April 23, 2021

Plantation Road is a residential road in North Oxford, England, connecting Kingston Road to the west with Woodstock Road to the east.^[1]^[2]

To the north is Leckford Road and to the south is St Bernard's Road. Leckford Place crosses it halfway along. The eastern part of the road is very narrow, almost like a village lane despite now being in a city suburb.

In the past there was a plantation here, hence the name.^[1] The road was laid out with building plots by 1832. The philanthropic Oxford Cottage Improvement Company built a block of seven cottages in 1888 on the south side of the road.

The Gardener's Arms public house,^[3] at 39 Plantation Road on the corner with Leckford Place, dates from the late 1830s and has a vegetarian restaurant.^[4] The 20th-century Wyndham House, officially opened by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother in 1973,^[5] provides sheltered housing with 33 flats, also on a corner with Leckford Place.^[6] The Jericho Chiropractic Clinic is at 16 Plantation Road.^[7]

Towards the end of his life, the diplomat and author Sir Reader Bullard (1885–1976) lived in Plantation Road.^[8]
