Plans to Enclose St Aubin’s Bay Revealed

Nothing new! Plans to reclaim land in St Aubin’s bay dated 1850

A while ago I was passed this sketch showing the proposed enclosure of St Aubin’s Bay. It certainly shows that nothing is new.

This demonstrates how ambitious our 19th century ancestors were. Considering it is dated 1850 it shows how this was the age of grand designs.

I wonder how they coped with the environmental impact study and planning application….
