Template:Jersey buildings/Fort Regent

Fort Regent was the last major defensive installation to be built in Jersey (if we discount the concrete structures built by the Germans during their occupation of the island from 1940-45). Although the Fort never fired a shot in anger, it was home to successive British regiments which formed the island's garrison, and, as such, played a very important role in the life of Jersey for over a century.

In the late 20th century it was transformed into a leisure centre, but the conversion was not a happy one and the Fort, now resplendant with white domed roof, has never really fulfilled its modern-day potential.
