Coast You are in: Jersey > Coast  Get under the skin of St. Helier on this circular walk through Jersey's capital.  Liberation Square is a focal point but not just for its role at the end of the Occupation in 1945.  La Folie was once one of the sites which were part of the thriving local shipbuilding industry.  Havre des Pas developed as a Victorian seaside resort alongside traditional shipbuilding industries.  During the occupation Albert Bedane sheltered a Jewish woman and escaped slaves in his cellar.  Snow Hill has been a central point for transport in the island for over a century.  The Royal Square was originally a market and the sea once reached all the way to the Town Church.  Charing Cross was once the site of Jersey's prison, but now you'll find a toad on a pole!  The development of Jersey's Waterfront has been the subject of controversy for almost two decades.
