Ever-growing collection of British siren images
Posted: Fri Dec 23, 2022 10:33 pm
Hello,
Just wanted to share a few British sirens of which I have seen, mostly courtesy of Brendan W’s UK Siren map. I will most likely continue adding to this as I find more sirens.
I have put a number beneath each photo which allocates which siren is located where.
Locations:
1. Mystery siren at the East of England Showground in Peterborough. I actually discovered this siren, which I am proud to say
2. A Castle Castings siren in Appleby-on-Eden, used for flood warnings.
3. Klaxon ES1/2S fitted behind the Appleby-On-Eden cricket club building, for the same purpose as the Castle Castings siren.
4. A Whelen WPS 2901 at the Campact/Egger chemical plant in Hexham.
5. Gent siren atop the Hexham Abbey function room. Installed during WWII and afterwards used as a fire siren until Hexham’s mayor asked for it to be decommissioned due to it apparently frightening his children during the 60s.
