This was the home of The Rap Yard, a spin off from the Right Angle Productions youth project that described itself thus:
"[RAP] works with young people to help them play a greater part in the life of their community, and to build their skills and self-esteem. RAP does this by using film and video, and other creative art forms in a youth-led, participative way. RAP works in Oxford linked to a global network.[1]"
