Open door

The great gate at St John’s College has been shut for the duration of the pandemic - it’s surprisingly lovely to see it open.
Great pov

Yes you will be thrilled to be able to go in there again Judith. Jack recently visited Cambridge for the first time & loved it! His friend sings in one of the choirs plus he pretended to be a future student…he looks very young for his age… so was able to look round quite a few of the different collages. .
Love that opening door….what a brilliant peace of history that is!

@happypat I think the colleges never meant to keep young folk out - it was the big groups that were causing issues but then I suppose £££ got involved!

I have a grandson in Manchester going round the colleges at the moment for future education. I think Cambridge was out of his financial means!

@maggiemae oh it shouldn’t be money that puts him off Cambridge- the accommodation works out less expensive than other universities because it’s owned by the colleges not commercial entities and they have all sorts of bursaries and financial assistance available especially the grander colleges who’ve had a lot of donations from alumnae. Food also subsidised- they look posh and like a bit of fanfare but the actual people are down to earth.

What an amazing doorway! I can only imagine all who passed through those doors.
