Newtown Alderney

Braye Harbour from Newtown from Louisa Lane Clarke's 'Alderney Guide' (1851)

Braye Harbour is on the north coast and the road that leads from St Anne down to the harbour is the location of Newtown - a small settlement started in 1847 to accommodate the workers brought over by Jackson and Bean to build Alderney's Breakwater. The name indicates something much larger than it actually is.
