Founded in 1974, the college is named after the Pendle region of the east of Lancashire,〔http://www.lancs.ac.uk/colleges/pendle/history.htm〕 which is dominated by Pendle Hill. The term "Pendle" is associated with a great deal of fantasy and legend. Although named after Pendle Hill, the area is perhaps more well known for its association with the infamous Pendle Witches. ==Accommodation== With standard, en-suite and studio accommodation Pendle College has a wide choice of accommodation options. The college moved to its current location at the far south end of campus in 1994;〔http://www.lancs.ac.uk/colleges/pendle/about-pendle/〕 Grizedale College had already incorporated the original Pendle buildings in 1993. When the university had floated proposals to build new college accommodation at what was then the southern end of campus, it was agnostic as to whether Grizedale or Pendle should take ownership of the new residences. The colleges' Senior Common Rooms were similarly unable to determine their position so the matter was decided through a drinking game conducted between students from both colleges. Grizedale won and elected to retain their existing college buildings and take over the existing Pendle buildings; Pendle would move to the new accommodation. The buildings completed in 1994 surround the college quadrangle and house 402 standard residence rooms. This complex is now known as ''Pendle East''.〔 Rooms situated in nearby ''Pendle West'' are subject to higher rents. With its own quadrangle, ''Pendle West'' occupies nine blocks of the ''Alexandra Park'' complex.〔 En-suite rooms are available in blocks 24-28: Winewall; Higherford; Fence and Crowtrees. Self-contained studio accommodation is in block 29 - Barnoldswick. Brierfield was part of Pendle until 2009 when it became part of Graduate College. Students commonly refer to ''Pendle West'' as ''"Posh Pendle"'' and ''Pendle East'' as ''"Ghetto Pendle"''. ''Pendle East'' houses the two-storey college bar and JCR lounge, featuring a balcony overlooking the quad. Pendle bar is one of the larger bars on campus〔http://www.studygroup.com/isc/lancaster/college_overview.aspx〕 and has the best acoustics of all the bars on campus. ''Pendle East'' also houses a launderette, computer lab, secure bike sheds, college offices and the Porters' Lodge. The residential blocks in Pendle East are numbered. The two-storey bar area is called the ''Merriman Block'', after former college principal and history lecturer Marcus Merriman. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pendle College, Lancaster」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
