THE PHOTOS
During my holiday in Jersey I discovered an old postcard stand outside an antique shop in the Central Market. The stand was full of faded cards but I chose to buy a small stack of numbered black and white photographs hidden amongst them. Gathering whatever information could be obtained from each photograph, I began to piece together a puzzle. The photographs on the following pages are the originals. They are the story.
