Cambridge 2000: Newnham College: Newnham Walk: Clough Memorial Gates
Newnham College: Newnham Walk: Clough Memorial Gates
A beautiful bronze gate, designed by Champneys and made by
Thomas Elsley. It was badly damaged in 1921 when a group of
male undergraduates tried to smash their way into the college
using a coal trolley after the Senate had voted not to admit
women to membership of the university, and it was repaired by
a fund into which undergraduates of all Cambridge colleges
contributed.
In 2008-2009 it was removed for restoration.
