Look at the way it is today along the sea front – and weep

From Mike Pitman.
I SO enjoy looking at the old Jersey photos that you publish in the Temps Passé feature each day and frequently marvel – if that is the right word – at just how dramatically we have managed to spoil our environment.
Other readers who enjoy this series might like to spend five minutes looking at the following website www.johnhindecollection.com/britain_jersey1.html where they can enjoy the garishly retouched postcards of the Channel Islands dating from the 1960s and 1970s.
I recommend Islanders to find time to look at these historic images, particularly those which feature St Helier Harbour and which always featured one of the mailboats coming or going. How beautiful the view from Fort Regent was, looking over St Aubin Bay, the castle in particular being highly visible and quite simply enchanting in its simplicity. How did we possibly allow the waterfront development ever to go ahead?
Yet more devastating is the card depicting Havre des Pas. This particularly charming postcard is redolent of old Jersey. Look at the same view today and weep.
