In 1934 L’ancresse Lodge was a thriving hotel (read more about it in Rob Grant’s article in the Friends current newsletter) which is now lost to the Island. Flats have now taken its place. Other than the building the most noticable change is the lampost; sometime over the past 80 years, it has turned round 180 degrees!Thanks to Rob Grant for sourcing the original picture and for the article about Tourism in 1934.
