Turl Street

It is colloquially known as The Turl and is home to three of the University of Oxford's historic colleges: Exeter, Lincoln and Jesus.

It meets the High Street by the early 18th century All Saints church, which has been Lincoln College's library since the 1970s.

Originally the Turl came to an abrupt halt at its junction with Ship Street, where it reached the city wall and the twirling gate.
