#Jerichowharf

[david-sankey]

"His Dark Materials" on telly started with Lyra Belacqua running round "Jordan College" Oxford. There was no Jordan College, but the name was partly influenced by Jericho, where there was an iron works (Lucy's - Eagle Works) and a wharf.   It's now very much gentrified, & I saw that Morse narrowly missed a mucky film at the "Studio Two" flix  (Phoenix Picturehouse now) in a repeated episode recently..... Anyroad, Lucy's gone and the wharf is being redeveloped . There's been a Loooong campaign and there still is, for the redevelopment to be done responsibly (the most minimal of minimum demands) and despite a unanimous rejection by the council of the developers proposals - they have taken the site to Planning Appeal  https://www.jerichowharf.com/news/news_item/time-for-a-turndown .   (photo shows St Barnabas Church behind Jericho Wharf)
