Bouley Valley and Bay Jersey Channel Islands Postcard c1910 Valentine's

Bouley Bay, Jersey, Channel IslandsPre-LinenGood

The winding lane descending through Bouley Valley to Bouley Bay on Jersey's rugged north coast — a farmhouse tucked against the hillside, the bay opening out beyond, and the dark profiles of wooded headlands stretching toward the sea. Bouley Bay, in the parish of Trinity, is one of the most dramatic spots on Jersey; the bay was historically used by smugglers, and local folklore holds that the "Tchian d'Bouôlé" — the Black Dog of Bouley — was said to haunt the valley to discourage outsiders from witnessing contraband movements at night. Jersey's north coast, largely bypassed by tourism, remained strikingly unchanged from its medieval landscape well into the 20th century. Published by Valentine's Series of Dundee, one of Britain's premier postcard publishers. Never mailed.
