English: Residential suburb near the old St. George's Garrison, with "Town Cut Battery" or "Gate's Fort" in the foreground (with Cut Road behind it), on the northern side of the Town Cut shipping channel, and St. George's Town and harbour in the background, with Fort George on the peak of Mount Hill beyond, and a small ship is visible docked at Ordnance Island, off the town square]]. The Town Cut had been a minor channel, suitable only for small vessels to enter or exit the harbour, until dredged before the First World War. Before then, larger vessels had used the St. George's Channel between Paget Island and Governor's Island, which was watched over by Fort Paget (on Paget Island) and Smith's Fort (on Governor's Island). In the 19th Century, Fort Cunningham was erected on Paget Island, making all three of the earlier batteries redundant. Alexandra Battery (at Building Bay on St. George's Island, immediately to the north of Cut Battery) and St. David's Battery on St. David's Island were later added (there were also three other forts armed with coastal artillery batteries to the North-West of Building Bay: Fort St. Catherine's at St. Catherine's Point, and Fort Victoria and Fort Albert on Retreat Hill, to its rear). St. George's Town and the various forts and related military installations at the East End of Bermuda are together a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) World Heritage Site, the Historic Town of St George and Related Fortifications, Bermuda.^[1][2]
