A fairly significant update - as far as I can tell, the "ASC I-Force" sirens at the Barrow South Morecambe Spirit terminal were actually FS 2T22/3T22s.
This image from 2011 shows such a siren clearly on the left side of the photo...
SMT XT22.jpg
The siren's location matches up with where the westernmost map pin is, based on the location of other notable features in the photo. Its satellite footprint remained exactly the same across imagery from 2003-2018, so I'm fairly sure the sirens always were XT22s.
I say
were, because the South Morecambe terminal was demolished in 2019 and everything on site, besides office buildings, disappeared. Until that point, however, the trio were the only XT22s on mainland Great Britain, based on current knowledge.
Spirit Energy still have sirens according to their latest COMAH Public Information documents (linked below), but I don't know yet what or where their North Morecambe Terminal sirens are.

Oh, that's a rotten shame that the plant was demolished. Hopefully the sirens may have been taken down and stored somewhere rather than being destroyed or scrapped, but it's very unlikely, knowing what usually happens.

On the subject of XT22s, and some more positive news this time: I've found two more at Sullom Voe...
One visible from Street View that I'm surprised wasn't picked up earlier - located at (60.459423, -1.270933). Shadow on imagery is very obviously siren-shaped, especially in comparison with the others.
Analysis of old satellite imagery at the far west end of the site also reveals further shadows consistent in shape and size with the other five definites, so I'm fairly happy to suggest this is a sixth XT22: (60.4611835732748, -1.2976013526110604)

A user on Discord (trainsarethebest_alt) has found two more Sullom Voe locations.
(60.4601600, -1.2645854)
(60.4625561, -1.2710563)
I cannot check of both of these are 3T22’s by comparing other aerial images, but they do have the signature of the other units that were found earlier.

First one is, 100%. Wasn't sure about the second one at first, but old satellite view suggests there could be... that would make it 8 on site (!)

Hello,
Seems like there was a dual-tone siren at (51.26961599876881, -0.21150121374821673) at one point, as seen on this forum thread that I stumbled upon:
https://tardisbuilders.com/index.php?topic=6946.0
This siren was removed sometime before 2008, as it is unable to be seen on StreetView.
Another siren that is no longer present was located at Brownhills Fire Station, atop a training tower. The station was demolished sometime before 2009, and once stood at (52.64946037069078, -1.9371695162449911).

Also, as heard in this video (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I4B2iaAy0I), two sirens are located in the town of Yeovil, Sommerset. At least one siren is owned by Leonardo Helicopters, and most likely is located on their site (50.93503363337323, -2.6514945032806057).

So I’m totally new to this, we went to Whittingham to see a potential siren (on the map it was a question mark) and I don’t know if this actually is a siren or not, as to me it just looks like a strange shaped chimney
Ps thanks for this map it gave me and my boyfriend a decent amount of entertainment driving to see these in our area (Northumberland)

Yeah, sorry but that's just an interestingly shaped chimney... at least this clarifies that it isn't a siren!
EDIT: Actually, if the photo midway down Page 14 of this thread is to be believed, there still may be a Castle Castings in Whittingham...

Think I might have found something at the Bacton Gas Terminal, looks like maybe an E2S A141 or something similar? The COMAH 2015 Public Information Search does suggest that it has a siren so this might be it

2 Klaxon ES1/3 sirens I found using the flight radar app. (Unsure if these are Value or Superior)

Doing some more siren searching with flight radar and found some more ECNs in Billingham. The ECN-3000s are installed very like Grangemouth
