Norham Gardens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Norham Gardens is a residential road in central north Oxford, England. It adjoins the north end of Parks Road near the junction with Banbury Road. From here, it skirts the north side of the Oxford University Parks, ending up at Lady Margaret Hall, a college of Oxford University that was formerly for women only, backing onto the River Cherwell.
Public access to the Parks is available from the two ends of the road.
The road consists of mainly of large Victorian Gothic style villas. A number are now used by the university and colleges. It was one of the earliest parts of North Oxford to be developed as a suburb in Victorian times, being relatively close to central Oxford.
