In 1971 Oxford Preservation
Trust purchased these three

received a Civic Trust European
Architectural Heritage Year
Award in 1975.

The old name for this lane was revived in 1972 after it had been known as Charles Street for many years. The office of the Oxford Preservation Trust is now at No. 10.
