  • The Yard Town Walk
    RITAG E E H The Yard O N TAP town walk Explore the history of St Helier with this guided walk which starts and ends at The Yard at Jersey Museum & Art Gallery. Approximately 30 to 40 minutes. Leave the Museum by the side gate and exit into Ordnance Yard. Ordnance Yard Ordnance Yard is one of the few remaining cobbled lanes and yards that were typical of St Helier around 1800. ‘The Yard’ occupies space within a 19th century warehouse built to serve the historic harbour of St Helier. At one time, ships would have been moored in the area in front of the Museum but the land was reclaimed in the 19th Jersey Museum century and a new harbour was built in the current location. Walk around the back of the Museum and pause at the bottom of the long flight of granite steps. High above you can just see the top of the Fort Regent signal station where a series of flags and symbols were used to signal the arrival and departure of vessels and also to warn of storms. This is a reminder of a time when the Island was completely dependent on the sea for the movement of people and goods. Climb the steps to Pier Road. On 9 May 1945 a party of British liberating soldiers climbed these steps to reach Fort Regent where they took down the Nazi flag of the defeated German occupying force and replaced it with the Union flag. Turn left at the top of the steps and walk down Pier Road.

Unfortunately, not for great reasons. The hospitality industry is going through arguably the worst crisis it has experienced in a generation. Every day we are inundated with news about COVID-19: case numbers, vaccine trials, lockdown restrictions and its impact on travel, tourism and the wider economy. So far, the picture has been quite discouraging, despite some green shoots during the summer months. This article is certainly not the place for a detailed recap and a minute-by-minute report of the evolution of the pandemic. However, we highlight that the serviced apartment sector, despite suffering alongside the traditional hotel sector, has been weathering the storm better owing to a few key factors that show a stronger resilience to a sudden and fundamental shift in demand in the current context.
