Logic Lane covered bridge, Covered footbridge at University College, Oxford, England
Description
Logic Lane covered bridge is a covered footbridge at University College Oxford that connects two building groups across a small cobbled passage. The structure spans between Radcliffe Quad and the Durham Buildings.
History
Harry Wilkinson Moore designed this bridge in 1904 after a legal dispute with Oxford City Council regarding its construction over a public right of way was resolved. The project solved the challenge of linking two separate parts of the college.
Culture
The bridge serves as a daily passage for students and faculty moving between academic spaces within the college. It reflects how the institution expanded its buildings over time and created connections between different areas of campus.
Practical
The bridge is accessible during college opening hours and is located at the High Street end of Logic Lane. It provides shelter from rain when moving between the buildings.
