The Bull Hotel, Cambridge

The Bull Hotel was a historic hotel located at 68 Trumpington Street, Cambridge, England, next to St Catharine's College.

[1] The four-storey hotel was built in 1828, and occupies the site of an inn previously known as the Black Bull, which was in existence as early as the fifteenth century.

[2] The Black Bull was bequeathed to St Catharine's College in 1626 and rebuilt in 1828 and opened as a hotel.

[3] In 1936 two "acanthus'" type posts were said to flank the stone ashlar porch of the Bull Hotel.

At the end of the war the American servicemen established Bull College, named after the hotel and between 1945 and 1946 the hotel functioned as a centre for Russian courses for the British Army, but then merged with St Catharine's.
