NOTES: This four-storey octagonal tower was built as part of the development of Jersey Marine as a holiday resort in the 1860s and was designed to provide panoramic views of the surrounding area. The adjacent Victorian hotel was demolished in the 1960s but the tower and the stable block were retained. Having fallen into disrepair, the tower was fully restored in 2006 as a wedding facility for The Towers Hotel. Subjects
