From 1961 an industrial estate, named Osney Mead in 1966, was developed on meadowland between Osney and Bulstake Stream, to the east of Ferry Hinksey Road. The estate was initially intended to relocate badly sited existing local businesses. Organisations based there include publishers Alden Mowbray and Oxford Community Church, the latter occupying a building on the estate formerly used by Oxford Instruments.
Newspaper House was designed by Arup Associates with mostly open plan Bürolandschaft offices and built 1970–72. It is the Oxfordshire headquarters of Newsquest which publishes local tabloid newspapers including the weekly The Oxford Times and daily Oxford Mail.
