| 释义 |
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] References1. ^1 {{cite book | title=The Encyclopaedia of Oxford |publisher=Macmillan | chapter=Plantation Road |year=1988 | pages=325–326 | isbn=0-333-39917-X | editor-last=Hibbert|editor-first=Christopher |editor-link=Christopher Hibbert }} {{coord|51.7629|-1.2654|region:GB_type:landmark|display=title}}{{Oxfordshire-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite book |last=Hinchcliffe |first=Tanis |title=North Oxford |year=1992|location=New Haven |publisher=Yale University Press |isbn=0-300-05184-0|pages=35, 82}} 3. ^{{cite web | url=http://oxford.openguides.org/wiki/?Gardener's_Arms_(Plantation_Road) | title=Gardener's Arms (Plantation Road) | publisher=The Oxford Guide | accessdate=24 January 2012}} 4. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.thegarden-oxford.co.uk/ | title=The Garden and The Gardener's Arms | location=Oxford | accessdate=24 January 2012}} 5. ^{{cite book | title=The Changing Faces of North Oxford | volume=Book Two | publisher=Robert Boyd Publications | last=Symonds | first=Ann Spokes | chapter=Wyndham House | page=86–87 | year=1998 | isbn=1 899536 33 7}} 6. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.housingcare.org/housing-care/facility-info-19372-wyndham-house-oxford-england.aspx | title=Wyndham House | publisher=HousingCare.org | location=Oxford | accessdate=24 January 2012}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.jerichochiropractor.co.uk/ | title=Jericho Chiropractic Clinic| location=Oxford | accessdate=24 January 2012}} 8. ^{{cite book | title=Kelly's Directory of Oxford |year=1976 |publisher=Kelly's Directories|location=Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey | pages=422–423 | edition=68th |chapter=Plantation Road}} 2 : 1832 establishments in England|Streets in Oxford |
