Prom - La Collette / Havre Des Pas

Photos taken last year, Autumn. Here's the prom showing a shelter that has since been demolished...









.. and the "insane-erator" :)







.. connected to the JEC chimney via this pipework.







In the more scenic direction...






.. a seafront cafe...






.. has been painted very brightly.








Near an old shipyard open space...






.. is a new block of appartments...







.. featuring a new artwork....








.. Bait Ball.






Looking outwards...







.. and a close-up - especially for regular blog reader Dottie :)





More of the prom...






.. and left a bit.

Around the old Bistro La Rocque

In Grouville there's a short stretch of main road with an actual sea view...







.. by a slipway, by the third in the Grouville line of 1780s coastal defence Round Towers...






.. closer, the first two towers can be seen.







Looking North, coastal views all the way to Gorey Castle...




.. and the building site where Bistro Rocque used to be - still visible for now on Google Maps





Farewell great restaurant :(








Farther along the coast, Fort Henry on the golf course.





Historical stuff at the slipway.

Modern replaces Traditional at St.Catherine

There used to be a traditional Jersey cottage by the tower at St.Catherine...







.. but it was bulldozed and...






.. replaced by something that many say is totally out of keeping with the area.






I'm reserving judgement until it's completely finished...







.. the area is very quaint and olde worlde, but...








.. there's room, in my view, for tastefully done new homes...







.. that are up to date.







Nosing through the windows...








.. I'd be more than thrilled to own such a place myself!
