Bridge of Sighs

...supposedly the sound of despair as students traipse out of exams and over this bridge.

The Bridge of Sighs was supposedly Queen Victoria's favourite place in the city - but only because she hadn't been to the Live and Let Live (which btw is having a 5 yr anniversary do this Saturday) or The Free Press obviously.

Inspired by the 231 years-older one in Venice (Really??) it's found between 3rd and New Courts of St John's College (1511). Wacky students occasionally suspend cars beneath it...
