EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, showcases the bustling Royal Square in the Channel Islands. The town square, located in the heart of St. Peter Port on Guernsey, is a popular gathering place for locals and visitors alike. The image is filled with groups of people, some sitting on benches, others strolling along the cobblestone streets, and children playing in the foreground. In the background, the imposing Central Hotel dominates the scene. This grand Victorian-era building, with its distinctive red-tiled roof and ornate facade, has been a landmark of the Channel Islands for over a century. Its presence adds a sense of history and elegance to the scene. The warm glow of the lanterns, which illuminate the square, casts a cozy and inviting atmosphere, making it a favorite spot for evening socializing. The photograph, part of the Boswell Collection, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. Royal Square has remained a focal point of the Channel Islands community, and the Central Hotel continues to be a beloved establishment, attracting visitors from around the world. This photograph is a testament to the enduring charm and allure of the Channel Islands and their rich cultural heritage.
