The residential buildings housing the college's en-suite accommodation, like the college itself, are named after places in the Lonsdale area. Due to current building work on campus, precisely which residential buildings are Lonsdalion ones is subject to change each year. However, in spite of this, the college has been able to transfer 'Lonsdalion' block names as it takes and drops the various residential buildings.

Junior Common Room (JCR)

Strictly speaking the junior common room (or JCR as it is often referred to) are all the current "Lonsdalion" undergraduates; although the term JCR is often used in reference to the junior common room's elected executive committee.

Purple Lonnie: The Lonsdale College Magazine

The executive committee undertake a variety of tasks, ranging from organising socials to co-ordinating sports, producing publicity to offering an education and welfare service. The JCR has its own website[1], and also produces the publication 'Purple Lonnie'[2].

The name Purple Lonnie comes from when a member of the executive's parent worked for the company that penned the Purple Ronnie poems. On being asked to pen a Purple Ronnie poem for Lonsdale, the poem came back signed by Purple Lonnie.


Official College Symbols

Under Bob Neal's principalship the college was given the lion as its symbol.


The "Heraldic" lion features in the official Lonsdale college logo. Use of the lion is widespread throughout the college, however the old lion still features on the college tie. The college colours are observed in the college scarf and include: blue, white, red and grey.
