Market Street, Oxford
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Market Street runs east-west in central Oxford, England.
The street lies north of the Covered Market, a historic roofed market with permanent stalls, still very much active today. To the west is the major shopping street, Cornmarket Street, and to the east is Turl Street. On the north side of the street is Jesus College, one of Oxford University's historic colleges, in beautiful yellow stone, with its main entrance in the Turl.
To the east, over Turl Street, Market Street continues as Brasenose Lane, accessible to pedestrians only, and named after Brasenose College, located to the north at its far end. This lane, used as a cut through route by students and other locals, emerges into cobbled Radcliffe Square at its eastern end. At the western end of Brase Lane to the north is Exeter College and to the south is Lincoln College.
