Harbourside Benches in St Peter Port Guernsey

A Harbourside Bench in Guernsey

Through a Town Centre Partnership initiative we have been installing granite benches throughout the Harbour to replace, in many places, the old wooden type benches which suffer because of the lack of up-keep. In addition, in consultation with the Harbourmaster, sites have been identified where there have been no facilities for the public to sit and enjoy the delightful views within the busy Harbour.

There are two types of Bench which have been accepted by the Environment Department. One is a cantilever type, which is attached to the Harbour wall in a number of areas and the other is a stand alone type.

The Careening Hard, Crown Pier, Albert Pier, St Julian’s Emplacement, The Fisherman’s Store close to the Model Yacht Pond and the Viewing area at the Model Yacht Pond are locations for the 60 benches which have now been installed.

In addition one bench has been installed on the walkway beside the North Beach Car Park where we have permission to install in total 24 benches.
