This appeal will not close and I will continue to ask for more writers. It is not an onerous task and is voluntary. p9 Our intrepid photographer, Steve Wyatt, has been busy with his camera and all photographs and Dina pictures published in this edition with a few exceptions, of La Cloche are a credit to his ability. Andrews The Parish Personalities this quarter are Mr and Mrs Hidrio with their winning garden. It really is a place of wonder and gorgeous colour. A lot of planning in advance is necessary with any garden, however large or small, and the Hidrios’ garden is testament to advance planning!

Cara Billot Miller p32 Graveyard Stories p36 Volunteering Family and other animals Winter 2019 St Saviour Parish Magazine p4 From your Parish representatives FROM THE CONNÉTABLE It’s the most Wonderful Time of the Year Hi everybody - those of you who know me know I love Christmas! You only have to pass my house to see that there are lights everywhere. It was pointed out to me by a friend who lives in the U.K. that I was far too old to climb trees to hang lights so I asked a very good friend of mine, Jamie Laffoley-Edwards, to help and he came around like a shot. The reason I am telling you this is because most of him has been replaced - he was on the donor register so please carry a donor card and let your family know your wishes - that is so very important. Also, very important is next year it is the 75th Anniversary of our Liberation from the German occupation. There is lots going on and I mean lots in the build up to May 9th. St. Saviour, like other Parishes, would like to take part in “Jersey Week” starting Monday 4th May to Friday 8th May and what I would like from you is anything you may have from 1938 to 1945 to put on display in the Parish Hall. If you were not in the Island, I would still like to have your memories of that time wherever you were. If anyone would like to come and talk about their experiences that would be even better. A few years ago, I had the honour of being the very first lady to address the States sitting on May 9th, to tell everyone of my Mum and Dad’s experience living here during the occupation. So please help us put together a good week. May 9th is going to be so special and we hope to have a Royal visit, and I think we deserve it after what these Islands went through. Sunday May 10th all the Parishes have been asked to get involved with the celebrations and can do what they want; and with the help of Deputies Pamplin, Perchard and Lewis we are hoping to have a thanksgiving service at St. Saviour’s Parish Church, visit some of the graves of those who lost their lives during this time and a picnic in Howard Davis Park where there will be music, face painting, Royston the balloon man and a film. We are in final preparations for this and I have my fingers crossed - NO I have EVERYTHING crossed!! Well, sweethearts, that’s it. Whatever you do have a wonderful Christmas and New Year and I hope all your dreams come true. Wishing you all that I would wish myself.

  • 70-72 LA COLOMBERIE, ST HELIER, JERSEY Report in Response to An
    70-72 LA COLOMBERIE,ST HELIER,JERSEY Report in response to an objection to the proposed Listing(grade 4) Background In January 2015, an appeal was submitted by MS Planning, on behalf of the owner, against the proposed listing (grade 4)of 70-72 La Colomberie (Colomberie Coach Station). Consequently, Jersey Heritage commissioned me to write a report on the value of the proposed listing, as I had undertaken the resurvey assessment of the building in January 2013. I am a qualified architect and have worked on a broad range of new-build and refurbishment projects in London and Ireland.I graduated from Edinburgh University in 1981 (MA Arch) and returned to York University, Institute of Advanced Architectural Studies in 1990 to obtain an MA. Over the last ten years my work has focusedon heritage -its protection and regeneration. Between 2010 and 2013 I was involved in the Historic Environment Resurvey of Jersey where I gained a detailed knowledge of the built environment across the Island. I have also undertaken listed building survey work for the Second Survey of Historic Buildings in N. Ireland.Since 2009 I have been a member of the statutory Historic Buildings Council of N. Ireland advising on the listing of buildings. Colomberie Coach Station Colomberie Coach Stationsits on the south side of La Colomberie within an area of 1950s development including Colomberie Parade opposite. Blue Coach Tours originally operated their business from the building which is now functioning as commercial showrooms. It is proposed as a listed building (grade 4) Planning and Environment as: examples of a particular historical period, architectural style or building type; but defined particularlyfor their exterior characteristics and contribution to townscape, landscape or Under this category it is recognised that buildings may not have well preserved interiors; that the exterior, while retaining its general characteristics and proportions, may be altered1.

  • Channel Islands Telegraph Company
    A History of the Telegraph in Jersey 1858 – 1940 Graeme Marett MIET This edition July 2009 1 The Telegraph System. Jersey, being only a relatively small outpost of the British Empire, was fortunate in having one of the earliest submarine telegraph systems. Indeed the installation of the first UK-Channel Islands link was made concurrently with the first attempted (but abortive) trans-Atlantic cable in 18581. There was some British Government interest in the installation of such a cable, since the uncertain relationship with the French over the past century had led to the fortification of the Channel Islands as a measure to protect Channel shipping lanes. The islands were substantially fortified and garrisons were maintained well into the early part of the twentieth century. Indeed, the Admiralty had installed an Optical Telegraph between the islands during the Napoleonic wars using a bespoke system developed by Mulgrave2. Optical signalling using a two arm semaphore was carried out between Alderney and Sark and Sark to Jersey and Guernsey. The main islands of Jersey and Guernsey had a network of costal stations. This system was abandoned by the military at the end of the conflict in 1814, but the States of Jersey were loaned the stations and continued to use the system for several years thereafter for commercial shipping. The optical semaphore links between La Moye, Noimont and St Helier continued until a telegraph line was installed in April 1887 between La Moye and St Helier. There is still some evidence of this telegraph network at Telegraph Bay in Alderney, where a fine granite tower is preserved, and the Signalling Point at La Moye, Jersey which survives as a private residence.
