The Up and Down Public House - Where we had a late lunch after our visit to The War Tunnels, rib eye steak and chips, I did feel guilty seeing so much on my plate compared to the starvation rations available to the islanders during the occupation years. Image Date: 29/05/2010

Monument Thanking The Rescue Services - The plaque below the monument reads: During the morning of Monday April 17th 1995 whilst on passage from Jersey to Sark, the French catamaran 'Saint-Malo' struck a rock known as Le Frouquie 900 metres north of La Corbiere Lighthouse. Visibility was good at the time, but with a Spring tide ebbing to the west, and a westerly Force 5 wind, the sea conditions near Corbiere were moderate to rough. Emergency services responded promptly and nearby ships gave assistance. All 307 passengers and crew were saved from the partially submerged vessel. This memorial is erected in thanksgiving and as a tribute to the rescue, which with the help of God and many strong arms, ensured the safe return of all on board. Image Date: 30/05/2010
