Creux Harbour postcard views
All these old postcard views show Creux harbour Sark with no bridge by the tunnel - proving the infill was done very soon after the harbour was completed. A shot of the original harbour with bridge can be seen on 'Unknown Photographers/Others' on my website. http://www.cipostcard.co.nz/sark/skcreux.htm
