People in Jersey have the chance to buy their very own piece of history as a German bunker is up for sale in the island.

The fortification, which was built during the occupation, lies on a large piece of coastal land on the Sand Dunes in St Ouen's Bay.

The land, which stretches between Le Braye and El Tico, is split into two plots.

People are able to put forward a price for either or both plots of land, which are for sale by tender.

One local estate agency say historical sites like this rarely appear on the housing market. The bunker is a listed building and the site is protected.

The National Trust for Jersey is interested in owning bunker site but says it will need help from the States of Jersey if it is to put in a bid.

They say there is a lot of fauna and wildlife living on the land, including Skylarks which have built their nests there, and want to protect them.

Maillard Estates, which is advertising the land for sale, is hoping the piece of coastline will fetch a price of £200,000.
