Telephone kiosk outside Jersey Pearl

Telephone kiosk outside Jersey Pearl at Les Laveurs, St Ouen.

Since 2000 almost all variations of telephone kiosks have been replaced by the present Jersey Telecom Limited standard kiosk. It is an anodized aluminium design finished in all yellow. Manufactured by Prosider S.P.A. of Ravenna, Italy, it is slightly wider than previous designs, this being to enable easier access by wheelchair users. To further facilitate this access the kiosk is installed on a flat stainless steel plate with anti-slip patterning.

Information culled from "A History of the Telephone Kiosk in Jersey" by Graeme Marett [PDF file].

Field in the Cueillette De Millais



A fenced off field in the Cueillette De Millais, St Ouen parish. The path South (right) looked as if it would afford access to La Route de La Villaise but in fact it just went around all four sides of the large field. St Ouen's bay can be seen in the distance.
