The Siren Board

So I’ve just found 3 more.

52.257925, 0.637978 idk if this is even worth putting up but it’s a truck horn used for fires (you have to go to the 2021 street view to see it)

Wow, I'm honestly surprised. That would be a Mechtric MS22 in the first location. Wonder how that got there.

I think I might've found the siren at the Croft Quarry.

I usually don't remember the looks and differences of the British sirens, but to me, it looks to be a Castle Castings or possibly a GP8.
There isn't a good street view that contains the siren either.

Hmm you may be on to something. If the siren truly is a castle or GP8, it has been decommissioned. I have actually filmed a quarry blast here before. The “siren” is a E2S apello sounder or something along those lines. But then again Barron hill replaced there former gp10 so maybe this could be something. I can try and go around that area tomorrow and we will see!

Ok so I just popped there and did a scan around the area and unfortunately there is no siren visible at all. There still is a possibility of a siren being there but from all public footpaths and roads nothing is visible.

Ok so 4 more siren locations and yes I have way too much time on my hands.

51°29'40"N 0°36'39"W klaxon ES?

52°35'05"N 0°18'40"W castle castings? Video shows siren heard in Peterborough and representatives of Milton hall confirmed it. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7dm5h0

(53.7301557, -1.3499384) secomak GP-12

53°18'02"N 0°32'31"W gents tri tone

Having too much time on our hands is how this map was started haha, I'll get these added now

Not sure if anyone's mentioned this, but it sounds as though 2 sirens are running on 60hz in Devonport.

It’s funny you say that, I think the GP-12s might be the ones making this sound. The one at bulls point could be one of them and the one near hms drake could be the other. Just an assumption though!

Does anyone know about the Kincardine Castle siren? It seems to have thin rotors much like a GP12, but the staff claim it's from WWII.
