Oxford. Ancient New College Lane. England
Oxford. Ancient New College Lane. England

The time blackened walls of New College lane have changed little over the centuries. Thankfully, the powers that be have decided not to clean and reface this historic thoroughfare, and it retains its ancient ambience, unlike most of central Oxford, much of which, although very beautiful, looks almost newly built.
This winding street is particularly evocative after dark.

This is New College Gate, the earliest of the Oxford college gate towers, built 1380-6. It leads through to the Great Quad, also the first in Oxford and of the same date. On the left is the blank wall of the cloisters built c1400 and on the extreme right, the Warden's Barn c1402, linked by the 17th century covered stone bridge.
