The house here at La Rocque, Grouville (on map), has changed hands recently...
.. and some low buildings obscuring the view of the tower have been removed...
.. leaving a rough edge to the roof on this tastefully decorated shack :)
Looks more like someone's front door than an 18th century tower's. Does it need a letterbox? :o)
From the pier, the splash of colour is quite cheerful really.
.. closer.
Info board. I've never heard of the Pasley chap before, I thought it was Conway?

Thnks so much! Well that pink isn't so bad really!
Just enjoying the pink shed!
I bet Norman Bates is somewhere there!
Great pix, but in my Mr Picky persona, Martello Tower (in your labels) is not strictly true - they are Jersey Round Towers.
Thanks for commenting.
I would say to Mr Picky that most people call them Martello Towers so it's a case of "when in Rome..."
Besides, the idea of a 'Martello' tower is a fortified coastal round tower a couple of stories high with cannon on top. That's exactly what the Jersey Round Towers are, even if they pre-date the English discovery and implementation of the idea.
Thanks
