EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the picturesque coastal town of St Helier, Jersey, in June 1925 with this print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR. The image showcases La Collette, a charming headland located at the southernmost end of St Helier. As you gaze upon this scene frozen in time, you can almost feel the warmth of a summer's day and hear the gentle lapping of waves against the shore. In the 1920s, La Collette was a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike who sought solace amidst nature's beauty. This particular view was carefully chosen by Great Western Railway (GWR) as part of their publicity campaign to entice travelers seeking an idyllic getaway. The sight is truly breathtaking; Elizabeth Castle majestically stands on its own island just off the coast, adding an air of enchantment to this already stunning vista. Imagine strolling along La Collette's rugged coastline during that golden era - perhaps hand-in-hand with a loved one or lost in your own thoughts. The fortitude displayed by Elizabeth Castle serves as a reminder of Jersey's rich history and offers glimpses into its past glory. This vintage photograph allows us to appreciate not only nature's grandeur but also transports us back to simpler times when taking leisurely walks along scenic paths brought joy and tranquility. It captures a moment frozen forever - an invitation for all those who yearn for serenity amidst natural wonders.
