Overview

This is not like other Oxford walking tours. If you’re bored of the Bodleian, sick of the Sheldonian and tired of the towers… then this is the tour for you! We want to help you scratch beneath the surface of Oxford, whether you’re visiting for the first time or have lived here for decades. Our tour explores Jericho, a neighbourhood just a few minutes north of the city centre. Today it’s one of the most desirable areas in the country. But 150 years ago it was smoky, noisy, smelly and relentlessly productive. You’ll hear stories of kings, politicians and rock stars - but our real focus will be on the factory workers, printers, publishers and hospital staff who worked, lived and died on these streets. Your guide for this two hour walking tour is Rob, who has lived in Oxford for over 25 years. Rob’s a storyteller, not an historian. We’ll go down rabbit holes and explore the personal stories that have helped shape Jericho’s community.
