This print showcases the charming Hotels in St Helier, Jersey, circa 1907. Saint Helier, one of the twelve parishes of Jersey, is beautifully depicted in this image captured from a postcard series known as the Peacock Series by the Pictorial Stationary Co. Ltd. London. The focal point of this picture is the Southamton Hotel, an architectural gem built back in 1864. However, its history took a dramatic turn during World War II when it was commandeered by German forces. This snapshot offers a glimpse into its grandeur before those tumultuous times. As we explore this scene further, we notice men and women strolling along the road adjacent to the hotel's magnificent facade. The street comes alive with activity as people go about their day – some sitting on benches or walking leisurely while others engage in conversation. In addition to capturing daily life on these bustling streets, this photograph also provides us with a glimpse of Jersey's natural beauty. A serene beach stretches out nearby, inviting visitors to relax and enjoy their surroundings. This remarkable image transports us back to early 20th century St Helier - a time when elegance and tranquility coexisted harmoniously within this picturesque location. It serves as a testament to both historical significance and timeless allure that continues to draw travelers from around the world today.
