Stories from the strongholds

Details

Strongholds and stories - with Ian Ronayne, Société Jersiaise Across our coastline, bunkers, tunnels and fortifications lie embedded in the landscape, stark, silent reminders of The Occupation. On this walk, historian Ian Ronayne reveals the story behind these structures: how they were built, how they were used, and what they tell us about power, war and the people who endured it. Through expert insight, explore a legacy carved into stone and steel, the structures built to dominate, the forced labour behind them, and the histories they still carry. A leading voice on Jersey’s war history, Ian Ronayne investigates the Island’s defences, memory and meaning, revealing how stories of conflict still echo through landscape, legacy and time.
