EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, showcases the picturesque Rozel Bay Cottage in the Channel Islands. Situated on the north east coast of Jersey, in the parishes of St Martin and Trinity, Rozel is a small, sheltered cove that once played host to a thriving fishing community. The quaint red-roofed, single storey building in the image has drawn the attention of several onlookers, who gaze at it with admiration. In the early 19th century, Rozel was home to a small fishing fleet, and in 1829, a harbour was built to accommodate the increasing numbers of vessels involved in the oyster dredging fishery. However, by the end of the century, this industry had collapsed, leaving the area with a rich history and a tranquil atmosphere that continues to captivate visitors today. This photograph is part of the Boswell Collection, Box 234, from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a glimpse into the past of these beautiful Channel Islands.
