Park Town is one of the best-known streets in central North Oxford, a suburb of Oxford, England. It was one of the earliest planned suburban developments in the area. Samuel Lipscomb Seckham (1827–1900) developed the houses in the main crescent in 1853–4, with Bath stone front elevations, and the west-facing crescent with an elevated pavement known as "The Terrace" in 1854–5. The Park Town Estate Company was formed in September 1857, through the efforts of Seckham.

  • Park Town is one of the best-known streets in central North Oxford, a suburb of Oxford, England. It was one of the earliest planned suburban developments in the area. Samuel Lipscomb Seckham (1827–1900) developed the houses in the main crescent in 1853–4, with Bath stone front elevations, and the west-facing crescent with an elevated pavement known as "The Terrace" in 1854–5. The Park Town Estate Company was formed in September 1857, through the efforts of Seckham. Many of the elegant houses and gardens in Park Town were originally surrounded by ornamental iron railings. Unfortunately, many of these were removed for the war effort to manufacture guns and ships in World War I. Park Town includes two crescents of town houses, surrounding communal gardens, together with a number of larger villas. To the west is Banbury Road and to the east is the Dragon School.
