The Siren Board

I'm fairly sure that this thing isn't a siren, but I have heard that apparently some people believe that there is a siren in the area around Dixon's Chimney in Carlisle, and I have noticed this thing multiple times when driving past it and thought that it could be a siren? Looks more like pneumatic equipment of some kind, and even has an eye hook. I just wanted to post this on the off-chance that this IS a siren and someone else confirms it despite me suspecting it for ages, in which case I would be very annoyed at myself...

Anyway, someone please clarify what this thing is.

Does not look like a siren to me. it does look like you could fit a siren in it, though.

Looks like a Sterling, but as Sentry88 said, it also does not look like a siren to me.

Oh, looking back in April 2009: https://www.google.com/maps/@54.8916201 ... ?entry=ttu

Looked nothing more than a novelty prop for the sign for a motor rewinding company. I think they moved or just moved the display motor.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I just didn’t want to be kicking myself if this turned out to be a siren but I had never said anything about it
