A photograph by Ernest Baudoux of the seawall under construction in 1872
The sea wall from St Aubin's Harbour to La Haule had just been completed when this photograph was taken, but the triangle behind the Railway terminus had yet to be filled in
This picture was taken some time after. The triangle has been filled in and trees planted on the mound of soil created. Buildings have also been constructed on the reclaimed land and trees have been planted on the roadside of the terminus
This picture was taken after the terminus was built in 1870 and before the line was extended across the road in front of the building in 1884
