Guernsey Quarries

description

"My temporary job at the Quarry is over”

Note:
The quarry is not named within the book. However the North of the island had over 300 stone quarries. One is still working but most are now filled in or used as water storage.

Three very good quarry examples are at this marker. The secret part of the North with unspoilt lanes - full of bird life with roosting Egrets, Herons and the Long Eared owl (very rare and only evening)

Note:
Le Pommiers is reference to cider making which was a big industry in the 18th to 19th Century.

Many local place names make reference to the land owners, the geography, or industry that happened in that area.

La Fort Manor/Sausmarez Manor

description

"La Fort Manor" (Sausmarez Manor)

Note:
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society makes reference to La Fort Manor, probably referencing the Fort Road and Sausmarez Manor.

Note:
Sausmarez Manor is a delightful spot to spend quality time with family and friends in amiable and unhurried surroundings. The grounds have proved to be somewhere that combines areas of peace and tranquillity and parts where the family can let their hair down and enjoy themselves.

St Martin's Farm

description

“I live on my farm in St Martin”

Note:
St Martin is one of ten parishes and sits on the south west corner of Guernsey. From St Peter Port you can walk to Fermain Bay and around the stunning and verdent cliff paths that, in part, make up some 27 miles of Guernsey costal walks.

name

St Brioc

description

“We were all at the St Brioc School to help the children get ready for the buses to take them down to the ships.”

Note:
There appears never to have been a St Brioc school in Guernsey. However, it is a hidden chapel ruin in the south west of the island, on a hill covered in gorse and ferns.

Interestingly St Sampson was also Welsh, our second town is named after that Saint. It would appear that Guernsey had a strong connection with the Welsh Saints.
