COMING EVENT

Jericho Films at the Phoenix

Wed 26 Feb - 6.00 pm-7.30 pm

Phoenix Cinema

We would like to invite you to a special screening of the 'Jericho Films' at the Phoenix Cinema, followed by a Q&A on the campaign.

Wednesday, February 26th, 6.00 to 7.30 pm. Admission £10. Proceeds will support the Save Jericho Wharf campaign.

These are two historic and entertaining documentaries produced 45 years apart by Maggie Black: the first with the BBC2 series Open Door in 1974 when Maggie had newly arrived in Jericho; the second with Film Oxford in 2019. Maggie is currently Chair of the Walton Manor Residents' Association.

The image above is taken from the first film, when the site was owned by a public body, British Waterways, and leased as a boatyard.

Also, at the screening representatives of the Jericho Wharf Trust will discuss the campaign in a Q&A. We hope to see you there!

Left to right: the site includes the Dawson Place garages alongside the Church, the car park currently rented by College Cruisers, the previous boatyard dock, and the canal frontage to the bottom of Great Clarendon Street. Note the delineation is only approximate. This site, which was originally publicly owned, is the last possible location in Jericho for community facilities and affordable housing. 

A resounding refusal
