The island of Jersey is the largest of the British Channel Islands and the most southerly. The history of the island has been shaped by its strategic location between the northern coast of France and the southern coast of England. Such is the importance of its location. There is evidence of habitation of the island, although not an island at this time, from the palaeolithic period. Jersey's recorded history stretches over a thousand years. It is largely due to its location and history that the island of Jersey and its inhabitants have their very own identity and culture. As it is not actually part of the United Kingdom Jersey has its own international relationship with other nations and its own financial, legal and judicial systems. This thrilling visual tour of the northern half of Jersey, a sister title to South Jersey Through Time, North Jersey Through Time will delight and surprise anyone who knows and loves the island.
