Founded in 1846, Hatfield occupies a number of buildings in the historic center of Durham city adjacent to Durham Cathedral. These informal photos by Robert J. O’Hara were taken during a speaking visit to Durham. For more information about the residential colleges please visit the main Collegiate Way page.
