Guernsey Coast

Post by john sefton » Sat Oct 28, 2017 2:04 pm

The island of Guernsey with its sandy beaches, cliff walks, seascapes and offshore islands has been a popular tourist destination since the Victorian days.
Our latest issue of self stick stamps are a nod to the heady hey days of island tourism. The images on each set features a panoramic scene, which have been treated in such a way, that they perhaps remind us of the fashionable posters of the era.
We have five GY rate stamps for letters and postcards posted in the Bailiwick and also five UK stamps for letters and postcards sent to the UK, Jersey or Isle of Man and each shows an artist's impression of Guernsey's spectacular coastline.
GY (44p) x 5
On the GY stamps we see the west coast of the island viewed from Fort Grey slipway around to Rocquaine Bay, panning right all the way back to Fort Grey itself.
UK (59p) x 5
The UK stamps show a panoramic view of the East Coast of Guernsey from the Albert Marina to the careening hard and the beginning of Glategny Esplanade located in the island's capital, St Peter Port.
