  • 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.

  • Inspiring an Active Jersey 2020 - 2030
    INSPIRING AN ACTIVE JERSEY 2020 - 2030 A strategic framework for sport and active living R.92/2020 Inspiring an Active Jersey – Final Vision and Mission Vision Jersey will be a healthier, more productive and fairer society by being one of the most physically active populations in the world. Mission More active people for a healthier island. Jersey will increase the number of physically active islander by 10% points by 2030. (Islanders who are considered physically active are those who meet the World Health Organisation guidelines for physical activity) Making the Case for an Active Jersey Our Challenge Currently, in Jersey, 49% of adults and 81% of children and young people do not meet the World Health Organisation’s guidelines for physical activity. (Ref. Jersey Opinions and Lifestyle Survey 2019 and Jersey School Survey Report for 2018). This means these adults and children are not active enough to have a positive impact on their health and well-being. For adults the World Health Organisation (WHO) guideline is 150 minutes of moderate or vigorous physical activity per week and for children it is 60 minutes of moderate or vigorous physical activity daily. It is notoriously difficult to compare physical activity data with other countries as the construction of the questions asked differ to an extent that the comparison of the data can be difficult to interpret. As such we have not included comparisons, but it can be noted that the physical activity levels of our children are broadly similar to those in England. 10% more adults in England meet the physical activity guidelines than in Jersey.

  • 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.
