Bridge of Sighs, Cambridge

The bridge, a Grade I listed building,[4] is a Cambridge attraction and Queen Victoria is said to have loved it more than any other spot in the city.[6] In the early 19th century, St. John's College added accommodation on the west side of the River Cam, an area known as the Backs, with the construction of New Court.[2] On two occasions, students have pulled the prank of dangling a car under the bridge.[7] The second incident (in 1968) a Bond or Reliant Regal three-wheeler car was dangled under the bridge.[2] The bridge can also be seen in the music video for the song "High Hopes" by Pink Floyd.
