Queen's Lane is an historic street in central Oxford, England, named after Queen's College, to the south and west. ==Location== At the southeastern end of Queen's Lane is a junction onto the High Street. To the west is Queen's College and to the east on the corner is the Queen's Lane Coffee House, a historic coffee house dating from 1654, probably the oldest in Oxford.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Queen's Lane Coffee House )〕 Just to the north on the eastern side of the lane is the main entrance to St Edmund Hall, one of the smallest colleges in Oxford. The former Church of St Peter-in-the-East with a square stone tower, now the library of St Edmund Hall, is just to the north of the college's entrance. There is a sharp bend in the lane about halfway along, following the boundaries of the surrounding colleges. The lane is largely surrounded by high stone walls with few windows, but with some good examples of gargoyles, a feature of Oxford college architecture. At the north-western end, the lane continues as New College Lane, named after New College to the north of Queen's Lane. There is a barrier in the road at this point to prevent through-traffic. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Queen's Lane」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
