Yes, this is Oxford, not Venice!!
Here you can see Hertford Bridge which links together the Old and New Quadrangles of Hertford College. It was completed in 1914. It is often called the Bridge of Sighs. However, it was never intended to be a replica of the Venetian bridge.
As you can see, we all took the same photo!
And did you know that there is also a Bridge of Sighs at Cambridge? It is a covered bridge belonging to St John's College at Cambridge University and was built in 1831, a long time before Oxford's Hertford Bridge! It crosses the River Cam. It is one of Cambridge's main tourist attractions and Queen Victoria is said to have loved it more than any other place in the city.
Go to Wikipedia "Bridge of Sighs Cambridge" to see a picture and you can compare the two bridges!
