Lonsdale College, Lancaster

Lonsdale College

Lonsdale College is a college of Lancaster University, in Lancashire, United Kingdom. Lonsdale College was one of the two original colleges, built when the university first opened in 1964. Formerly located north of Alexandra Square, in 2004/2005 the college was relocated into the newly developed Alexandra Park on south west campus. The college boasts a bar, junior and senior common rooms, a launderette and large en-suite accommodation.

Like the names of other colleges in Lancaster University, Lonsdale comes from a feature in the local area. In this case the college takes its name from Lonsdale, the Lune Valley.

Lonsdale College is also a fictional college of the University of Oxford, as featured in Colin Dexter's Inspector Morse novels. In the television adaptation of Inspector Morse, Brasenose College was used to represent Lonsdale.
