Weekend Reflections:Recollection at Gorey

This is part of an ornamental fountain designed by Cyril Warren in 1976. A symbolic keel recalls the 19th century shipyards of Gorey on the East Coast of Jersey.

Engraved on the sides of the keel are the names of 16 of the largest ships built at Gorey when ship construction was a thriving industry in the area during the 18th century. The idea of the fountain is to recall those days. The keel is laid on bricks possibly as old as Gorey's shipbuilding industry. They were taken from the old prison at Newgate Street. More information can be found on the website of the Société Jersiaise.

You can now find the best 55 photographs from our recent trip to Jersey on Jersey 2010.
