Building began in Juxon Street in 1876.[1] The houses were designed to provide small homes for middle-class families. Much of the north side of the street was bought by Lucy's Eagle Ironworks also just to the north to house its staff. Many of the houses have also been for rented to students. Some houses at the west end of the street were demolished and flats was constructed in their place. It is now a popular inner-city residential street with high prices and rents in the area.[3] There used to be a ferry (with ferry house) and coal wharfs at the end of Juxon Street.[4] LiteratureJuxon Street features in the 2003 book Lyra's Oxford by Philip Pullman.
