Each paper sets out the topic in question and raises issues for future management and research. We welcome your comments on all of the papers but particularly sections 10 and 11. Please send your comments to [email protected] subject heading Coastal Zone Management Strategy Heritage and Culture paper. The papers are also available in PDF format at: www.environment.gov.je 3 This topic paper: Summarises the current status of coastal and maritime heritage and culture in Jersey and their interaction with other coastal activities; Invites comment about conserving Jersey’s heritage and culture along the coastal zone. 1. Heritage & Culture in Jersey This topic paper will cover the study of human activity from above the high water mark out to entire Marine Protection Zone together with terrestrial sites that relate to the human exploitation of the sea. Traces of this activity include wrecks, single finds and submerged structures, together with historic fortifications, ports, harbour structures, industrial sites and coastal defences. These sites form a finite and non-renewable resource of vital importance to the understanding of how Jersey’s coast has been used in the past. It is important to record, study, and conserve it for present and future generations. Equal attention should be paid to the protection of sites both on land and underwater. 2. The Policy Framework for Heritage and Culture in the Coastal Zone. 2.1. Council of Europe Cultural Convention for the Protection of the Architectural Heritage of Europe Granada 1985, revised Valetta, 1992 Purpose of the Granada 1985 Convention: To achieve a bilateral cultural Convention between members of the Council as well as to pursue a policy of common action designed to safeguard and encourage the development of European culture. It covers the study of languages, history and civilization which is common to all European states. The revised convention makes the conservation and enhancement of the archaeological heritage one of the goals of urban and regional planning policies. It is concerned in particular with arrangements to be made for co- operation among archaeologists and town and regional planners in order to ensure optimum conservation of archaeological heritage. The Convention sets guidelines for the funding of excavation and research work and publication of research findings. It also deals with public access, in particular to archaeological sites, and educational actions to be undertaken to develop public awareness of the value of the archaeological heritage.

  • The Jersey Heritage Answersheet
    THE JERSEY HERITAGE Monuments Quiz ANSWERSHEET 1 Seymour Tower, Grouville Seymour Tower was built in 1782, 1¼ miles offshore in the south-east corner of the Island. Jersey’s huge tidal range means that the tower occupies the far point which dries out at low tide and was therefore a possible landing place for invading troops. The tower is defended by musket loopholes in the walls and a gun battery at its base. It could also provide early warning of any impending attack to sentries posted along the shore. 2 Faldouet Dolmen, St Martin This megalithic monument is also known as La Pouquelaye de Faldouët - pouquelaye meaning ‘fairy stones’ in Jersey. It is a passage grave built in the middle Neolithic period, around 4000 BC, the main stones transported here from a variety of places up to three miles away. Human remains were found here along with finds such as pottery vessels and polished stone axes. 3 Cold War Bunker, St Helier A German World War II bunker adapted for use during the Cold War as Jersey’s Civil Emergency Centre and Nuclear Monitoring Station. The building includes a large operations room and BBC studio. 4 Statue of King George V in Howard Davis Park Bronze statue of King George V wearing the robes of the Sovereign of the Garter. Watchtower, La Coupe Point, St Martin 5 On the highest point of the headland is a small watchtower built in the early 19th century and used by the Royal Navy as a lookout post during the Napoleonic wars. It is sturdily constructed of mixed stone rubble with a circular plan and domed top in brick.

  • Low Water Men
    LOW WATER MEN A novel by William Gasston The British Channel Islands lie in the Bay of St Malo, just south of the Cherbourg peninsula closer to France than England. In 1940 the Germans invaded the islands and thus began five years of purgatory for the local population. 1 First published in February 2018 by William Gasston Cover, page design and overall production by William Gasston Copywright William Gasston All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form without prior permission of William Gasston. Disclaimer Low Water Men is a work of fiction which has been based on historical fact. Except for some historical wartime leaders, the characters are all figments of the author's imagination . Any similarity with any living person is coincidental. Acknowledgements Many thanks must go to the Jersey Evening Post for their permission in being able to reproduce the text of the orders of the German High Command during the Occupation. I am deeply indebted to Peter and Verity Cruickshank of Jersey who have been a major source of information, their family and friends being low water fisherfolk since long before the war. Thanks also to my good friend Phil Greaves of Lambley, Nottingham, England who undertook the edit and encouraged me to push on. Website Whatever you think about the pros and cons of the internet, it is probably( up to now!) the major game changer of the twenty first century. It disseminates information and opinions faster than a speeding bullet. I have set up www.lowwatermen.com so that any reader, who has been kind enough to peruse and enjoy my story, could access information regarding the Channel Islands and the German Occupation.
