Oxford Landmarks Tea Towel

There Are Two Common Myths About The Bridge Of Sighs In Oxford. The First, That The Bridge Was Based On The VEnetian Bridge Of Sighs, Is So Widely Believed That The Oxford Version Scarcely Goes By Its True Name. In Fact, Hertford Bridge (As It Is Actually Called) Is Based On The Rialto Bridge, Also In Venice, And Both Use An Archway Structure.The Second Myth Is That Many Decades Ago A University Wide Survey Found Students At Hertford College To Be The Heaviest. To Combat This Problem The College, So It Is Alleged, Shut The Bridge Forcing The Students To Take A Lengthier And More Stair Ridden Route As Exercise. The Truth Is That Were The Bridge To Be Closed, Students Would Actually Take Fewer Stairs.
