Gorey Pier [Jersey]
A 29th May 2021 view of the site of Gorey Pier station, the former eastern terminus of the standard-gauge Jersey Eastern Railway. The 5 mile line from St Helier (Snow Hill) even offered through tickets to Paris via the Gorey-Carteret (Normandy) ferry and onward French train services! The railway closed completely in 1929, but was re-opened as a narrow-gauge line for transport of sand by the occupying German forces in 1942. No trace of the railway is left at the Gorey Pier site, but it now serves as an important stop on the island's excellent, extensive bus service network.
