St Bernard's Road

[2][3] To the north is Plantation Road and to the south is Observatory Street.

The road is one-way from west to east, with traffic calming constrictions.

[4] At the eastern end on the south side is a Grade II listed block of flats, Belsyre Court, built in 1936.

[5] This location was part of the route taken by King Charles I with his cavaliers and 6,000 troops when he escaped at night from Oxford on 3 June 1644 during the Civil War.

Some houses were demolished to make way for the St John's College development of Arthur Garrard Close off St Bernard's Road, named after the bursar at the College from 1949–67.
