Alderney stamps: Blue Plaque Trail
Guernsey Post is issuing a set of stamps depicting famous and influential people associated with the island of Alderney, including Elisabeth Beresford.
Alderney’s blue plaque trail covers eight locations in and around the town centre of St Anne. The Wombles author Elisabeth Beresford lived at 22 Little Street, having moved there permanently in 1978 after enjoying family holidays on the island.
The main six stamps depict the Le Mesurier family, Sir Henry John Gauvain, Sir George Martin, Reverend John Wesley, ‘Tommy’ Rose and John Arlott.
Elisabeth Beresford is featured on a £2.00 stamp on a collectable miniature sheet with the blue plaque trail map, alongside T. H. White, best known for his sequence of Arthurian novels The Once And Future King.
The stamps are issued on 6 January 2025 and can be ordered from Guernsey Stamps, including a presentation pack and a first day cover.
