Also all of the Diageo sirens have vanished from the map except the Glasgow location

Practically now all street view available sirens are documented now so I’m now taking from online sources.
(52.6605855, -3.1487521) unknown, siren was going to activate during election but was cancelled. https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/pol ... iren-plan/

(51.0251873, -3.1373135) Gents? Siren was taken down some point after 2017 after heritage center was rebuilt https://www.somersetheritage.org.uk/record/27022

(57.5826716, -1.8468994) klaxon, I have obtained some locations of installations by klaxon, location approximate. https://www.klaxonsignals.com/images/Pr ... et/434.pdf

(53.6284908, -0.2018775) klaxon ES, obtained again from source and arial view

(54.0868749, -4.6301650) klaxon, obtained from website, location approximate

(51.1857795, -2.2743590) gents, used as fire alarm https://youtu.be/8ZDpxPswYEo

(53.3382424, -2.0551582) carter? Used as fire alarm, activated on VE Day for a test.

Edit: new one I found:(51.3805078, -2.3309238) used as a “invacuation alarm” and sounds the yeow tone for a chemical release. https://m.soundcloud.com/andrew-chinery ... tion-alarm

That does seem to be a Delta! Interesting discovery!
Sirens may not be sexy, but they sure work.

Found another 3 sirens:
(53.7307154, 0.0288260)
Castle castings: used to be at the Withernsea police station and is being preserved here. https://www.flickr.com/photos/tswtoday/4915679353

52°56'16"N 3°03'33"W GP-10 siren confirmed at this location and photos on google maps show a GP-10, see kronospan chirk photos of entrance.

(53.6835558, -0.9391440) KSML-15
Siren has a very sharp wind up similar to a Grifco 999 https://youtu.be/m8DdhAfmfZI
(Location approx)
I just spotted this at the croda site on street view, it appears whatever they have is electronic, possibly sampled or synthesized to sound like a 10/12

Yeah to update on that I have discovered that the siren was a newer installation, around 2016-2021.
(53.6831292, -0.9391969)
This siren has appeared to replace a grifco 999 type siren heard in this video

I think you can see the Grifco right next to it!
-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.
