[1][2] The annual Jericho Street Fair takes place in Canal Street, normally close to 11 June, the feast day of the patron saint Barnabas.
Towards the southern end is a junction with Great Clarendon Street, a major thoroughfare in Jericho.
Previously the Jericho area was part of the Walton Manor farm owned by St John's College, Oxford.
The Old Bookbinders Ale House pub in the street was also established in 1869.
[10] The area was used as a location for the adaptation in the Inspector Morse television series starring John Thaw.
