Most surprising thing for me regarding the Mullberys was how they managed to keep so much manufacturing industry secret, or perhaps more accurately, how thousands of locals, who must have known, said nothing.
The Channel Islands used a disproportionate amount of 'West-wall concrete'. Well worth a shufti for some properly intact structures that never endured an assault. Those Artillery observation towers are seriously impressive in the flesh, might have to consider staying in that one that's now a holiday let.
Also the posts that are grafted onto Gorey Castle's towers are an excellent & discreetly executed job that blends in so well they're hard to spot unless actively looking for 'em. For me, they enhance the history of the place, bringing it firmly into the 20th century as a military building.
