Aerial photographs of St Helier in the 1960s
From Jerripedia
Low-level aerial photographs of St Helier are rare, particularly from the 1960s. These two images, taken from a larger image published in a 50-year-old book, show clearly the centre of the town in 1961, with some of the buildings which have long-since disappeared, while others remain largely unaltered to this day. The pictures are taken looking east, and the image on the left shows:
