In 1879, the Dragon School formally known as the Oxford Preparatory School moved from Balliol Hall in St. Giles to number 17 Crick Road, which became known as the ‘School House’. In 1895 the school moved to its current location in nearby Bardwell Road. In the 19th Century the Haldane family lived opposite 6 Crick Road at Number 11 Crick Road. The property displays a blue plaque commemorating the famous physiologist J.S. Haldane who carried out experiments in the basement of the house and is famous for inventing the gas mask. 6 Crick Road, believed to have been built in 1882 and extended in 1892, was the property of St. John’s College who divided it into seven self-contained apartments. The current owners purchased the property from the college over 30 years ago and restored the house to a family home.
