Thanks Bob It's partly because stone is more durable (they say that Guernsey is made up of some of the Earth's oldest rocks), but also partly because of the care that's taken looking after and renovating the 18th century and earlier stuff. There are still lots of mixed memories about the German occupation and the tendency immediately after the war was to fill in the earthworks and break up the concrete. It's only recently that people are realising that this is part of their heritage too and needs preserving...
