Atlantic Wall
This
panorama consists of four separate images joined together to
capture the wide sweeping view across a beach on the west
coast of Jersey.
Being
so close to the French mainland, Jersey has always been of
strategic importance and has been defended against invasion
over many years.
La
Rocco Tower on the left of the image was built as a defence
against French invasion in Napoleonic times while on the
right are the remains of a WWII Bunker and anti-tank wall.
The
much older rock formation or volcanic dyke running across
the beach seems to represent a more enduring wall defending
the beach from the ravages of the sea.
