Jersey Post is recognising some of the island’s beautiful historic buildings with their most recent stamp issue ‘SEPAC: Architectural History of Jersey’, to be issued on Thursday, 27th March 2025. The stamps are illustrated by British artist Jenny Costello using her unique skill with mixed media combination of watercolour, line drawing and digital finishing to bring the historic sites to life. Each building offers an insight into the island’s past, from the boom of the milling industry that led to various mill houses (two of which are featured in the issue), to the construction of traditional barracks following a threat of invasion after the Battle of Jersey. Throughout the years, Jersey’s architecture has been influenced by both British and French design, as well as local architects’ own unique twists. An example of this influence can be seen in 16 New Street, which was built around 1730. The architecture of the building has been described as a blend of Jersey vernacular and Georgian classical architecture with rendered walls, limewashed and scoured in imitation of masonry. The Small European Postal Administration Co-operation (SEPAC), of which Jersey Post is a part of, allocated 2025’s theme to be set around historical architecture. The issue will be available from Thursday 27 March 2025. To learn more about the historical buildings featured within the issue visit www.jerseystamps.com. Collectors will be able to purchase the stamps and accompanying products online at www.jerseystamps.com.
