In the 1970s, the architects Ahrends, Burton and Koralek designed yellow brick buildings on the southern part of Blackhall Road.
The historian J. K. Fotheringham (1874–1936), an expert on ancient astronomy and chronology, and Fellow of Magdalen College, lived at 6 Blackhall Road.
The poet and art critic Hasan Shahid Suhrawardy (1890–1965), an associate of the writer D. H. Lawrence, also lived in the road when they met in 1915.
On a brick wall forming part of Keble College, opposite the Department of Statistics building, are two large dinosaurs in white and blue paint.
