  • 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.

Strong progress has continued on our journey of continuous improvement with the implementation of the Strategic Plan and it has again been a highly successful year for both schools. Victoria College achieved its best ever overall results at GCSE. Whilst A level results remained strong, they dropped to levels that existed before the recent high years and support arrangements have been put in place in some departments. Encouragingly, Victoria College was scored in the top 10% of some 3,000 UK schools, reflecting outstanding progress students made in achieving results better than their predictions.

Martin of St. Helier Deputy G.C.L. Baudains of St. Clement Deputy J.G. Reed of St. Ouen Witnesses: Senator P.F.C. Ozouf (The Minister for Economic Development) Mr. M. King Deputy G.P. Southern of St. Helier (Chairman): Welcome to this now public hearing of Jersey Telecom Sub Panel. We have now got all members here so we are fully quorate. Welcome, Philip. If I may I would like to start us off by talking about the J.C.R.A. (Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority) and the opening up of the market. I will start with the most recent information I have received in the paper today that the hearing on the number portability has once again been postponed. Would you happen to know any reason for that? Senator P.F.C. Ozouf (The Minister for Economic Development): You have an advantage over me, Chairman, of having read the J.P. (Jersey Evening Post) but I am aware of this and I have to say that I will ask Mike King to comment on this. I am pleased to hear that the hearing is off because of the reasons … I will let Mike explain and then make a comment. Mr. M. King: Yes, I think it is fair to say that the E.D.D. (Economic Development Department) assessment of the situation regarding the hearing on O.N.P. (Operator Number Portability) was that there was room for discussion between particularly Jersey Telecom but also other operators and the regulator to look at alternative ways of resolving the issue of portability in the shortest timeframe, at the lowest cost and in such a way that would deliver to the customers of Jersey a solution which would allow them to have full number portability and free up the market.
