Discovering The Bridge in Guernsey (2025) – A Walking Tour Through Time and Change.

The Bridge is more than old facades—it’s alive with commerce and community. In 2025, the area represents a fascinating blend of continuity and change:
• Longstanding Family Businesses: From local bakeries and newsagents to hardware shops trading in boating gear and housewares, some premises have welcomed islanders for generations. Change is coming fast, however, with several legacy stores closing, expanding, or changing hands—something this video documents for posterity.
• New Ventures: As part of the Leale’s Yard and Bridge Road redevelopment, cafes, marine stores, coworking spaces, and destination restaurants. Watch as former industrial or underused plots come alive with fresh opportunity and “village style” redevelopment plans.
• Essential Services: The Bridge’s clusters of pharmacies, electrical and electronics retailers, banks, salons, and small supermarkets ensure it remains a daily hub for residents of the north parishes.
• Marina-Facing Hospitality: The waterside is increasingly a draw for café culture, with new eateries and planned quayside venues envisioned as anchors for both locals and visitors.
• Commercial and Marine Trades: Ship-repairers, boat chandlers, and fuel suppliers — alongside local tradespeople — reflect the continuing importance of the sea to Guernsey life.
By filming in 2025, this video captures a “time capsule” moment: just as new high-rise housing plans, harbourside parks, and a new “bridge over the Bridge” prepare to transform the area’s look and feel for good.
