Sidgwick Hall - originally called 'North Hall' - was the College's second building. When it was built, in 1880, it was divided from the rest of the College by Newnham Lane, the continuation of Newnham Walk through to Grange Rd. In 1891 Newnham negotiated the closure of the lane (and its replacement by Sidgwick Avenue, to the north of the building), thus uniting the two parts of the College.
The building is named after Henry Sidgwick, the College's founder.
