Regional Postage Stamps of Great Britain - Jersey and Guernsey

Jersey and Guernsey

Jersey and Guernsey became postally independent on 1 October 1969 when they each issued their own inaugural series (see Jersey Post, Guernsey Post) although locally-produced stamps had been in use during the Occupation of the Channel Islands 1940–1945. The Bailiwick of Guernsey incorporates Alderney, Herm and Sark which all used the Guernsey issues from 1969. Alderney has issued its own stamps since 1983 and these are valid throughout the Bailiwick of Guernsey.
