1908 Jersey Commercial Association travel guide

The Jersey Commercial Association, which owned the original West Park Pavilion, produced a 1908 guide for those thinking of holidaying in Jersey, or even moving here permanently.

The guide contained articles on how to get to Jersey, what to do while there, and its attractions for those thinking of making it their home. There were photographs of popular tourist locations, taken by the principal commercial photographer of the day, Albert Smith, and advertisements for hotels and boarding houses, a school, reading rooms, a bank, Jersey cider, a department store, livery stables, wine merchants and a tearoom

Sending out literature

Tourism Department staff were kept busy in January in the early 1960s when requests for information about holidays in Jersey came flooding in. These Evening Post pictures from 1961, 1963 and 1964 show the staff at work
