Although the building of this bridge was originally strongly opposed by New College, it has become a much admired architectural feature of the city and, despite being almost hidden in a side street, is one of the most frequently photographed and well-known landmarks in Oxford. Built in 1913-14 and named after the Ponte dei Sospiri in Venice, it links the two buildings that make up Hertford College.
