Re: UK Siren Map

There is a restored Castle Castings siren in the restored control tower museum here : 51.69190882408684, -4.81837934236757
They also have a hand cranked siren from Carter, but I may be wrong about the manufacturer.
Speaking of hand-cranked sirens, there are another two at this museum too: 54.94339227934061, -2.8052791478089496
They look to be the same as the one at the control tower, but I can't really remember.
Hope this helps :)

I have a hand crank at my house, but I'm not giving away my address! Also where exactly are you from in the UK?
-Seen a Carter 1N WW2 siren, a Whelen WPS-2903, and has heard Modulators and DSA's playing Evening Colours.
-Currently looking for undiscovered sirens in the UK.
-Also making a fantasy siren map for the UK aswell.

Cumbria, but I won’t give anything further. I am looking to get a hand-crank siren myself, so I guess it was a stupid idea to put them on the map, heheh. :)

It may look like it is, but look at the date of which that streetview was captured. September of 2008.

Apparently the Hörmann ECN-3000 at 53.568778, -0.090238 has been removed per 2022 Street View footage. If my previous posts are anything to go by, I may be completely wrong. Please someone check.

Yes, the whole system has been decommissioned as of 2020 and all sirens have been removed. I'll get around to updating the map soon :)

Update on a London siren. The whatever it is on the roof of Vanguard Self Storage is still there as of May 2022. The Hawker Hunter jet fighter that was on the roof was moved inside after being taken down, and I wanted to see if the siren was still up. To my surprise, it is! See the upper right section of this image:
