St Aldate's is a street in central Oxford, England. It is named after Saint Aldate of whom little is known, although it has also been suggested that the name is a corruption of 'old gate', referring to the south gate in the former city walls. St Aldate's Church is on the west side of the street, in Pembroke Square. A former name for St Aldate's is Fish Street.〔(Street-Names ), ''A History of the County of Oxford. Vol. 4, The City of Oxford'' (1979), pp. 475-477.〕 The street runs south from the generally acknowledged centre of Oxford at Carfax. The Town Hall, which includes the Museum of Oxford, is on the east side of the street. Christ Church, with its imposing Tom Tower, faces the east end of St Aldate's, while Pembroke College (on Pembroke Square) faces its west end. Other adjoining streets include Blue Boar Street to the east side and Pembroke Street, Pembroke Square, Brewer Street, Rose Place, and Speedwell Street to the west. Opposite Christ Church is Alice's Shop, formerly frequented by Alice Liddell, and the model for the Sheep Shop in the "Wool and Water" chapter in ''Through the Looking-Glass''. South of Christ Church is an entrance to Christ Church Meadow and, still on the east side, the Oxford University (Faculty of Music ), containing the Bate Collection of Musical Instruments. Oxford's police station (designed in 1936 by H. F. Hurcombe, the City Estates Surveyor,〔 and the Crown and County Court opposite precede a junction with Thames Street to the west. (The police station was featured in the Inspector Morse television series.) After Folly Bridge over the River Thames or Isis, St Aldate's becomes Abingdon Road (A4144), leading directly south out of the city of Oxford towards the Oxford Ring Road and the villages of Kennington & Radley and the town of Abingdon. == Gallery == File:The North end of St Aldates Stret.jpg|The northern end of St Aldate's.
