Gibraltar became British in 1704 and is a self-governing territory of the United Kingdom which covers 6.5 square kilometers, including the port and harbour. It is believed that Gibraltar has been used as a harbour by seafarers for thousands of years with evidence dating back at least three millennia to Phoenician times; however up until the late 19th Century it provided little shelter for vessels. Refer to Figure 1 which shows the coast line along the western side of Gibraltar with the first structure known as the ‘Old Mole’ on the northern end of the town. Refer to figure 1 below. Location of the ‘Old Mole’ N The Old Mole as 1770 Figure 1 Showing the harbour with the first harbour structure, the ‘Old Mole’ and the structure in detail as in 1770.

  • Annual Report 2016
    CHAIRMAn’S foreword As another Heritage year comes to a close, we stop a moment to take stock of the work that has gone on, mainly unseen and in the background and which you will find summarised in the following pages. I would like extend my thanks to my fellow Trustees for their work and invaluable support during my period as Chairman. Most especially, I would like to thank Claire Montado, our CEO and our small team at the Main Guard who ensure that all the cogs are oiled and the wheels keep turning. Claire is taking a short break for the best of reasons - a new baby! We welcome Tasmin Griffith to the team, recruited as Executive Personal Assistant, who will help us to keep things ticking over during Claire’s maternity leave. My thanks also to all our volunteers who give up their free time to help us in our shop, run craft classes for our children, lend muscle when we need things moved and brains in helping with our archive and ever-growing library. I would also like to commend those who have helped deliver our membership programme of events; those stalwart folks who will come out, usually on a Saturday morning to host our historic walks, or run with our Tuesday evening presentations and historic talks. We couldn’t do without these dedicated folk. As always, we have much to do - please continue to support us with your continued membership and participation. Don’t forget to keep us updated with your current email address, as this is essential if you want to keep up with our latest news.

Deputy Chief Minister (Hon. Dr J J Garcia): Mr Speaker, it is good to see this House meeting 5 today in order to debate the Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure. The events of the last 15 months have shown that nothing can be taken for granted, not even this traditional, set-piece annual fixture. This is my 23rd Budget. Thirteen have been in Opposition, 10 as a Member of the Government – one of which failed to materialise in the usual way, as we all know, as a 10 consequence of the pandemic. We have seen how a virus first detected in China at the end of 2019 has now taken millions of lives, destroyed families everywhere, decimated economies across the planet and quite simply turned the world upside down. The pandemic has challenged everything that we took for granted: the simple right to leave our homes, the right to meet who we want when we want to, the right 15 to gather in hundreds or thousands, the ability to travel smoothly and simply, the right to open the doors of our businesses, our relationships with our loved ones and the elderly in particular.
