Neithrop used to be the site of Banbury's mid Victorian workhouse and later contagious diseases hospital and which was situated in Warwick Road for about 100 years. After World War II the workhouse was used as a hospital until it was demolished and built over in the 1980s. There have been various housing developments and redevelopments since the late 1980s. A large old car show room and garage, opposite the Texaco garage, was demolished and replaced by a local housing scheme, circa 2004, as was an old warehouse and car park that lay next to "The Shires" crossroads.
