New College Lane

New College Lane is a historic street in the centre of Oxford. Ironically, it was named after New College, New College, which is one of the city's oldest schools. If you keep going under the small bridge, you'll come to New College. In the northwestern part of Lane College, Catte Street is next to the Sheldonian Theatre, one of the city's most beautiful buildings. But the street's major attraction is the Bridge of Sighs, which connects the two buildings of Hertford College. It was built in 1914, and when it's open to the public, it fills with people who want to view the old centre. It's assumed that this bridge is like the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, but that wasn't the original plan by the architect Sir Thomas Jackson.
