EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the picturesque coastal town of St Helier, Jersey, in August 1934. This print captures a GWR publicity view from the promenade at La Collette, showcasing the idyllic charm of this Channel Island gem. As you gaze upon the image, you can almost feel the warmth of summer and hear the gentle lapping of waves against the shore. Intriguingly, this snapshot also reveals an exciting development taking place on Jersey's coastline. In the distance, we catch a glimpse of construction work underway for what would become Havre des Pas bathing pool and lido. A testament to human ingenuity and leisure pursuits during that era. The scene is awash with nostalgia as beachgoers enjoy their day by lounging on golden sands or frolicking in crystal-clear waters. The bay stretches out before them invitingly while seagulls soar overhead, adding to the serene ambiance. La Collette's promenade acts as a gateway between land and sea—a vibrant hub where locals and visitors alike come together to revel in nature's beauty. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and modernization, some things remain timeless—the allure of sandy beaches meeting rolling ocean waves will forever captivate our hearts.
