Bonn Square

Bonn Square is a pedestrian square, next to Queen Street, in the historic center of Oxford. Bonn is named after the German town twinned with Oxford. It is near the old door of the medieval city to the west, where you will now find the West Gate Shopping Centre. To the east, you have Queen Street which is a major shopping street. The other corner of the square is made up of New Inn Hall Street, Inn Street, which was accommodation for students and businessmen in the city. Now it is one of the colleges of Oxford University. For more than 700 years, Bonn Square was a graveyard for the church of St Peter-le-Bailey.

This lasted until 1870, when they began to take on more modern development plan for the city and they destroyed the old church. In the centre you will find the Tirah memorial which was placed 1900. It was the city's first war memorial and it recalls the battles of Tirah which took place in northern India.
