TL4458 : A round the colleges route to Downing Street (30)
taken 5 years ago, near to Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England
Over the last few years I've done a lot of work on Wikipedia on the 16 Cantabularian Colleges founded before 1596, so I wanted to see as many of them as I could in the time it would take my mother and sister to go round the latest exhibition at the Fitzwilliam. When eventually they had finished they rang. "Where are you?" they asked.
I looked up. "Downing Street."
"Crikey, you've walked a long way!"
(Fun fact: there are 19 Downing Streets in the UK)
St Catharine’s College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge. Founded in 1473, the college is often referred to informally by the nickname "Catz". The college is located in the historic city-centre of Cambridge, and lies just south of King's College. The college is notable for its open court (rather than closed quadrangle) that faces towards Trumpington Street.
