The houses are mostly in pairs, with Jacobean as well as more traditional North Oxford Gothic detailing.

The Haldane family[8] lived at 11 Crick Road and the house is marked with a blue plaque.

[2][1] The family included the physiologist and father John Scott Haldane (1860–1936) and his wife Louisa,[9] together with their children, the geneticist and evolutionary biologist J.

The family later moved to 'Cherwell' at the end of Linton Road to the north, now the location of Wolfson College on the banks of the River Cherwell.

The botanist and Mayor of Oxford, George Claridge Druce (1850–1932), moved to 9 Crick Road in 1909.
