A set of stamps featuring pictures of historic buildings in Jersey has been released.

Jersey Post said the Architectural History Of Jersey stamp series featured eight buildings which had significance to the island's past.

The buildings on the stamps - designed by artist Jenny Costello - are Morel Farm, Greve De Lecq Barrakcs, Foot Buildings, Le Moulin De Quetivel, Hamptonne, 16 New Street, Le Moulin De Lecq and The Elms.

The set is available to buy from the Jersey Stamps and Collectables website, external.

A Jersey Post spokesperson said: "Each building offers an insight into the island's past, from the boom of the milling industry that led to various mill houses, to the construction of traditional barracks following a threat of invasion after the Battle of Jersey."
