From an information placard:
"Bridge of Sighs" built in 1913-1914, affectionately named after the "Ponte di Sospiri" in Venice, arches gracefully over New College Lane, uniting two quads and the buildings of Hertford College.
The city wall is inspected by the mayor every third year as part of the agreement back in 1379 when New College was given permission to be founded just inside the city wall.
Evelyn Waugh, author of "Brideshead Revisited" (one of my favorites) is a graduate of Hertford College.
