Geocache Description:

The tadpole's original habitat was removed, so the old cache sadly archived. The habitat is back, the spawn has returned

Until St. Helier was extended by land reclamation, the sea wall ran along the length of Broad Street back towards Bond Street and the Town Church.

Charing Cross marked the Western extremity of St. Helier and was the location of Jersey's prison from 1693 to 1811 when it was demolished.

The Prison buildings formed and arch across the western approach road through which traders and market-goers had to pass. Until this first town prison was built, Jersey's prisoners had been held at Mont Orgueil - which had proved both inconvenient as the Court was located in St. Helier.

Le Crapaud stands on the former site of the prison,

The base is a granite column inscribed with the 1698 Le Geyt code of law - a document which listed some of the crimes committed and punishments metered out.

Above the column is a large metal toad or ‘crapaud’ the toad is said to signify the area was once a marsh, but also represents the nickname for Jersey people which is "Crapauds" which is French for frogs. Opposite the crapaud is Jersey's Silver Jubilee sculpture from 1977, La Croix de la Reine. The scuplture depicts various aspects of St. Helier including a milk can, the town pump and the gold torque which is on display in Jersey Museum
