Bradmore Road


Bradmore Road is a residential road in North Oxford, England.

At the northern end of the road is a junction with Norham Road and at the southern end is a junction with Norham Gardens, with the University Parks opposite. Halfway along the road, Crick Road leads east to Fyfield Road. To the west is Banbury Road.

Houses in the road were first leased between 1870 and 1874. They were mainly designed by Frederick Codd (Nos 1–2 and 13–17) and Galpin & Shirley (Nos 7–12 and 18–20). The houses by Codd are in the traditional North Oxford Victorian Gothic style.

John Galpin (1824–1891), an auctioneer and Mayor of Oxford in 1873–74 and 1879–80, leased 12 Bradmore Road in 1873. The Dowager Lady Buxton also leased 20 Bradmore Road in 1873. Sir Edward Henry Pelham (1876–1949), the son of Henry Francis Pelham (President of Trinity College, Oxford) and Laura Priscilla Buxton, later Permanent Secretary of the Board of Education between 1931 and 1937, was born in Bradmore Road on 20 December 1876. In 1874, 13 Bradfield Road was leased to William Esson (1838–1916), a mathematician and Fellow of Merton College, Oxford.

Nos 9 and 10 were for a time a Radcliffe Infirmary nurses' home and later an annex of Green College.
