  • 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.

  • R.134-2011 Fort Regent Political Steering Group- Interim Report
    STATES OF JERSEY FORT REGENT POLITICAL STEERING GROUP: INTERIM REPORT Presented to the States on 8th November 2011 by the Minister for Education, Sport and Culture STATES GREFFE 2011 Price code: C R.134 2 REPORT Steering Group members: Deputy J.G. Reed of St. Ouen (Chairman) Senator P.F. Routier Connétable J.M. Refault of St. Peter Deputy R.C. Duhamel of St. Saviour Deputy T.M. Pitman of St. Helier Connétable A.S. Crowcroft of St. Helier Executive Summary Two issues have dominated past discussions about the future of Fort Regent – funding and access. Realistically, there can be no development of the centre on a major scale until these 2 issues are addressed. Accordingly, the Steering Group has compiled an action plan that identifies the next steps. It was clear from the start of this process that further detailed work would be required and it was also clear that this would take time. The Steering Group has been able to pinpoint the next investigations that will be required and the bodies who are able to move this project forward. We have also identified realistic actions that can benefit Fort Regent immediately, be achieved in the short term and do not require significant expenditure. These steps, although small, will help improve the current facility while more detailed work is carried out on medium- and long-term objectives. All the points are set out in an Action Plan in section 5 of this report according to the timescale in which they are achievable. Over and above this plan, the Steering Group has been able to identify a set of guiding principles to use in determining the future of the facility – • Sport, leisure and club facilities: maintain and enhance the existing provision and improve social facilities; • History: ensure the historic nature of the site is conserved and made more accessible to the general public; • Architecture: retain the iconic nature of Fort Regent structures; • Private finance: explore opportunities for adding development to current structure in partnership with private sector.

  • 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.

Passengers included five natives (one is Kerepa); surf & life boat crews; 85 men of the 70 th Regiment; 26 Bushrangers; three Artillery men; two men of the Royal Engineers. The canoe with the five natives “ascertained from two old men who came down that there would be no obstruction made to landing” in Opunake Bay. Also seen were “two armed natives, one of them on horseback” on the other side of the Waiaua River. They were later described as “rebels who had just come up the coast from Ngatiruanui.” Wiremu Kingi Moki Te Matakatea was accompanied by 19 men and 4 women (including his wife) “who all made due submission” to Colonel Warre. 1 On the 1 st June 1865 the ‘Ahuriri’ landed 150 men of the 70 th Regiment at Opunake.

Tindle MuxCo Channel Islands 1. Tindle MuxCo Channel Islands Ltd (‘TMCI’) was created to establish local DAB digital radio in the Channel Islands, with shareholders who have significant analogue and digital radio experience through broadcasting and multiplex ownership – Tindle CI Broadcasting Ltd and Folder Media Ltd. 2. Tindle CI Broadcasting operates the popular and successful local heritage commercial services in the Channel Islands – Channel 103 and Island FM – which consistently report the highest percentage reach figures in the British Isles, whilst Folder Media has considerable experience as a multiplex operator and content producer, having established the Now Digital and MuxCo networks, and currently managing the MuxCo network as well as multiplexes owned by Wireless Group and Bauer Media. 3.

Our ethos is that digital radio should be available in a cost and operationally efficient manner to enable as many organisations as possible to broadcast. TMCI will offer both DAB and DAB+.

  • States Greffe Annual Report 2020
    ST ATES ASSEMBLY ANNUAL REPORT 2020 PRIVILEGES AND PROCEDURES COMMITTEE July 2021 R.121/2021 Foreword by the Bailiff of Jersey Foreword by the Bailiff of Jersey Foreword by the Bailiff of Jersey President of the States I am delighted to contribute to the annual report of the States Assembly for 2020, the second time I have been able to do so as President of the States. The States has faced truly exceptional challenges in 2020, as indeed did we all, because of the Covid-19 pandemic. For most of the year Members were not able to convene in person and our business, as well as the work of committees and panel, was conducted online. Some Members found it easier to adapt than others, but collectively we got on with the job of adjusting to new ways of working to ensure that the Island's parliamentary system of government could continue. I am particularly proud of the fact that Jersey was the first Commonwealth jurisdiction to move the proceedings of its Assembly entirely online. Indeed, as this report shows, we have had one of our busiest ever years. Not only were numerous novel and complex pieces of legislation fully debated by the Assembly but there were more questions asked than ever before, particularly following the introduction of special periods of questions without notice to all ministers on Covid-19 matters. This was especially significant because the public had so many questions about Covid rules and the potential effects of the virus on all aspects of Island life. Indeed, I noted during the debate on opening our borders in the early part of the summer something like 3,000 people were following our proceedings online.
