ABOUT THE SIRENS:
Broadmoor installed 13 sirens in surrounding towns of the Broadmoor secure hospital, to warn local residents of a dangerous person that could have escaped. Broadmoor is a hospital to some dangerous patients.
The sirens were tested at 10am each Monday and I have separate videos for most of them sounding.
THE SIREN HUNT:
Initially these were quite hard to find, but we found them all. Some in council depots, compounds, parks and believe it or not - in the middle of housing estates metres from houses! Some are in secure places with no access at all.
HOW THE SIRENS WORK:
The Klaxon CS8 siren.
A 415volt 3-phase motor spins two rotors on either side. One rotor is for the high tone and the other for the low tone (the one with most holes is the HIGH tone).
During the escape tone, the airflow is cut alternately (about once a second) to each rotor by a shutter on each end producing the distinctive high-low tones. I believe these are known as CODED SHUTTERS - hence the model name Klaxon "CS"8.
Both shutters are opened together for the all clear tone. You can just make out the high and low frequencies being produced together if you listen carefully.
WHY ARE THERE ESCAPE SIRENS?
They were installed in the 1950s/60s with the intention of warning residents in surrounding towns and villages to remain in their homes and keep their children supervised following the escape of a Broadmoor patient.
In those days security at the facility was nothing like it is now and some would say they are no longer needed. But they do a job - "to warn". Escapes can never be "impossible", but "more and more unlikely" as security and procedures improve at the hospital.
2018 - WHAT NOW?
The siren system was originally installed in the 1950s. The copper telephone wire system is outdated and parts have not been available for many years now.
With various faults developing and lack of parts and knowledge to fix it, a decision had to be made.
• Broadmoor Sirens - Loc...
After a lot of meetings and consultations, it was decided to maintain the existing sirens as best as possible then remove them when they fail.
Bearing in mind that security at Broadmoor has been vastly improved since it was built, and the sirens were installed in the 1950s, and now a new 'more secure' hospital nearing completion, it was decided to decommission the whole system rather than spend a lot of money to update it.
By the end of 2018, all sirens were be removed. Here is one being removed:

A new siren will be installed on the new hospital, which doesn't sound that interesting (electronic, not motorised).

2:35 all clear siren B
5:34 escape tone siren B
Lol it's kinda like a cop car XD
What's the difference between the escape tone and all clear? They sound the same to me?
@@AshleesBathroom the escape tone has the "Hi-Lo" sound from the shutters opening and closing on the sides of the rotors, whereas the all clear tone is just a full blast with the shutters open
2:33 bagshot u forgor the KLICK
5:34 and 2:35 is Actually Siren L
5:40 interesting how the flap opens and closes to create the two-tone
With the CS8 its not changing the hi lo, all the shutter is doing is muting that side, if you stood in front of the machine so both sides were facing to your right and left, the hi side would be on one side and the low the other, when the siren is going hi lo hi lo its just alternating the shutters on each side alternately, in the all clear tone its just opens them both, and when running down it closes both which is why the noise gets a lot quieter very quickly, if the unit was properly functioning... the bagshot siren wasnt and the low tone was stuck open.
@MythicalTwist3r Yep it is called hi-lo.
These aren’t used nearly enough in horror settings. The noise is so extremely unsettling and makes my fight or flight response go crazy
The fact that it's called "escape tone" too really messes with me, but it's so interesting to watch
Yeah going to school next to it isn’t ideal lol it’s fucking terrifying
@@amymay24 they're using an old school air raid siren, as a "prison break alarm" system?
For me it's just nostalgic haha, it reminds me of home
2:34 I love the windup of this KLAXON CS8!!!
There’s something strangely fascinating about old rotary siren I guess you could think of them as the faithful old sentry always on the look out ready howl they warning at the first sign of danger
I loved every rotation till the end. Call me weird, but I still watched until it stopped. Love your stuff, Matt.
Volume up is best ! :)) .. great video thanks for sharing. It will be sad when they are gone.
Thanks for this! My son, aged 4 requested a video of some sirens and hey presto here you are! Thanks so much, very informative ❤
Oh brilliant! Does he have an interest with sirens, and alarm related stuff? When I was about 6, I loved wiring things up and taking things apart to see how they worked (especially my toys, then couldn't put them back together again!!). Later when I was about 10 or 11, I developed an interest in alarm devices - bought many burglar alarms and detectors - my room was wired up with so much stuff (goodness knows how I got away with it in my parents house!).
Unfortunately, the only siren system simular to Broadmoor is Carstairs in Scotland (still working). Might be a bit scary for your son as he's only 4, if you went there. Broadmoor sirens were removed back in 2018. Let me know if you have any questions from you son, and I'll try and answer them! Matt
For all those asking what would happen is someone escapes at 10? The sirens would keep going. Since the test is only for 2 minutes then it will stop. If someone escapes then the siren will stay on escape tone for more than the 2 minutes thus alerting of a real escape.
The bagshot siren sounds like a thunderbolt 1003t at 1.5% speed
It looks like the siren is sticking its tongue out XD
interesting observation :D

In almost 40 yrs of living in Frimley, I have never heard the all clear sounded BEFORE the escape siren. I've seen the other towers around the area, but I'd always thought they were mini tv, radio or phone masts! Now as a higher functioning autistic, I at last know where "the sonic enemy" really is1 Good for me to know!
The Train Station Voice At 0:49 Is Saying "The train now approaching platform 2 will not stop here, Stand back from the edge of platform 2, the next train is not scheduled to stop."
sounds like an escape tone & all clear
There are similar sirens here. Tested on Saturday 2pm. Scary as hell when they start up in the middle of the night...

Well done - wow, I've learned there was 'Lift enthusiasts' from your channel; now I've learned (from no less an authoritative source than Wikipedia) that there's such a thing as a 'Siren Enthusiast'!
Haha, soon you'll find that there are enthusiasts for anything
Excellent mate! Wish we had these in oz, might hafta cast and machine one. Great video!
I've been wondering when your next siren video would be released. This is a great one! ... nice to see the Crowthorne Station Siren close-up.... looks kinda spooky under that weather condition.
+Ow3n Lifts It was so foggy in the morning, that I did wonder whether the footage would be any good. Seems to be ok though. Thanks for the comment!
@@mrmattandmrchay would these sirens do a wailing signal [like the attack tone used in the Blitz] in the unlikely event of a tornado or other weather emergency?
These Broadmoor sirens are amazing, I live near the Carstairs hospital sirens, well, the closest siren system near near me.
Love this video. Wish I'd visited them whilst they were still working.
I Just Love The Intro Music! Great Job On That!
Well done on putting these videos together. Must have taken some planning and patience to capture these.
I was working on a long term project at the time in Reading, so sneaking out at 9am on a Monday managed to work out perfectly! But yes, it takes a lot of commitment and not forgetting that on average only 2 out of 3 visits were successful (other times the siren I visited didn't operate!) Thanks for the comment.
The cworthwone siren has a fault and i think the high tone shutter is jammed open do you think im wrong or correct
something i've noticed with a few sirens like the bagshot and trl sirens is that they're directly mounted to the pole instead of having some kind of support
Hello and I’m back with another update on the Bracknell siren! Unfortunately it seems this week the low tone damper was stuck open. At first I thought it was sounding the all clear first like it did once but I heard the high tone alternating. New to this week though as I heard it operating fine from my English classroom last Monday.
Edit:looking back at the recording it seems it was actually the Wokingham siren(the one near the shell garage). I will have a video up on my other channel called British sirens

1:40 I love this one! It sounds so good!

welcome to america.

Are the shutter going opposite when
Escape tone
I. Never knew there were sirens in the u.k thought it jus USA and may I have the name of that intro music u show
After years these never get old
In my town, San Bernardo, Chile this sirennes is used by firefighters to notify 12AM any time. A northamerican friend, first time in my town, believe this was an Atomic attack alarm and run to keep secure and cover before to hear it.
haha!! Well, I've been told a few stories about new residents in the area of these sirens have to find out the hard way about what they are. You'd have thought that as they have been sounding at 10AM on a Monday since 1952, that everyone would know about them!
I'm now inclined to believe that I've kinda figured out how the telephone activation system worked, and why the telephone box remains on the other sirens that have been cut down. The telephone control boxes, along with the equipment inside of them, are owned by British Telecom. Because they are property of BT, Broadmoor can't even open those boxes without BT's permission. This is one of the reasons why the control boxs are mostly left. The biggest reason why these control boxes remain, is because of their location. It serves no benefit to BT to physically remove the boxes, as it would require work to sometimes dig up underground phone lines, which would be of no benefit to BT and would cost a lot of money to do. With this in mind, the Cock-a-dobby siren site still has that mysterious 4th box in the back corner of the compound. I believe this to be a telephone junction for the surrounding houses, as well as where the sirens dedicated phone line comes in, so it definitely isn't going anywhere.
Now let's talk about what's inside the control box. Because the sirens produced three signals, a simple ring down circuit can't be used. Because of the age of the system, this leaves the possibility down to something similar to the old Carrier control units that were scattered all over police departments across the UK that were used to warn of air attacks. This system activated with a tone sent over telephone lines and worked similarly to a simple ring down circuit, with the only difference of course being the tone instead on ringing voltage. Now since that tone would only engage one contactor for as long as the tone is present on the phone line, the system alone wouldn't be able to activate multiple signals, especially a special signal such as the escape tone.
The most probable way is that their are 4 of these tone receivers in the telephone control box, each independently activated by a different tone frequency, but connected to the same phone line. These receivers are basically the size of a smartphone, so that box would seem oversized for 4 recievers, which lead me to believe that also inside the box is a latching circuit so that the phone line doesnt need to have a constant tone to continue siren operation. Reciever 1 would be the escape tone. Reciever 2 would be all clear. Reciever 3 would be the cancellation circuit.
For example of the tones used to activate the signals:
a bursting signal is used to wake up the phone lines or "prime" the lines. This was due to the fact that loss of the signal could occur if it was sent too quickly, so the recievers are woken so they are actively listening.
Escape: After a few seconds of this priming, a tone (let's use 1700hz sine as an example) would be quickly sent over the phone line. This tone would activate the escape tone relay, and the latching circuit and timer, and would activate the various relays in the small relay box. After the timer cancels out after 3 minutes, it closes a circuit in the cancellation circuit and stops the siren.
All-clear: the same thing as escape only with a different tone (say for example a 400hz sine wave)
Cancellation: when the specific cancellation tone is received, it activates the cancellation circuit, which de-energizes the latching circuits, and shuts the siren off.
Test: when the specific time for "test" is received, it most likely closes the "test" loop-back relay in the mini box, as well as operates a short 3 second timer. The test works by sending the test tone through the phone lines, and having it loop-back to Broadmoor in a hopefully pure sine wave to indicate a successful test of the telephone system.
Because of the test function, it's obvious that each siren has the potential to be activated individually.
This is all speculation of course, so i can't be sure of it whatsoever. Even though the system has been decommissioned, Broadmoor still isn't ready to officially reveal the activation system, most likely because similar systems like Carstairs still exist and it would possibly be a security issue, and also because BT still might own the activation system, Broadmoor might not know how any of it actually works. I've based all of this on my prior experiences working on sirens, as well as my knowledge of telephone systems, but once again I can't be certain for sure.
also I’m inclined to believe that the controllers were replaced or updated in the 60’s as broadmoor switched from
pulse to Hi-lo after the home office retired the attack warning grey (Fallout expected within 1 hour). Now back then how hard would it have been to switch them from Pulse to Hi-Lo, surely it wasn’t an easy task?
@@BritishLifeSafetySystems wait they used to do PULSE? *I NEED TO HEAR IT*
wow almost 15 minutes before the siren has shut down in my country it takes 3 minutes and it is all over
+Colin Sterken (colauto123) He explains in the video that they are all tested at one, for the video they are shown separately so you can see each one. Hence the time clock in the bottom corner showing you the actual time when the specific siren was filmed.
Yeah im guessing you either have electronic sirens or sirens like thunderbolts that have a quicker wind down than Klaxons
mr some 1 klaxon is a brittish built siren hebdenbridge has old war sirens posed as flood sirens this siren relys on friction

I'd love to walk up to 5hat quite siren and kiss it literally kiss these life savers
i'm pretty sure they kill more people by giving them heart attacks after the surprise of them turning on for testing than saving them from any bombs or nut jobs from broadmoor hospital XD
I love the border Moore siren it sounds great 👍
Hang on a minute... 1 siren at the London Road, one at Bagshot railway station and one at Crowthorne? Er.... Does that mean Frimley's right in the middle of it then? That does explain why the sound seems to come from a different direction, depending on the weather conditions. Is this a triangle shape, or are there any other siren posts I should be aware of? (Making it a square.)
Can these do a pulse tone?
What is the range, and the decibels of this siren(s)?
How long do them siren sound for
your the best man
I know that they’ve been removed, but do any remain? And does the one in Crowthorne still stand? I was at the station the other day but didn’t look out for it so didn’t see it, but I think it’s really interesting mainly just because they’re creepy as fuck
Only just noticed that the Bagshot one has its low tone shutter stuck open, and the fact that the sirens have opposite faults! LOL
Do you know why the bs siren does all clear tone first
What are these sirens for?

@@CazicTheProtogen agreed
6:22 Is the low tone shutter jammed open?
it sounds wierd 7:42 oh...
Sounded like the Bagshot Depot signal had a stuck shutter. I could hear the lower pitched tone the whole time.
Hi mr matt, would you recommend or know where I could go to find one of the sirens as tomorrow me and my dad are going to try and listen at 10:00am as we have always wanted to hear them close up.
Hi Joe. Oh no...! I think you are about 2 years too late I'm afraid. They were decommissioned about 2 years ago, and by the end of last year they were all physically removed. The only one that works now, is a new speaker siren in the grounds itself, but they test that 'silently' now. You best bet is 400 miles north! That's Carstairs, especially Ravenstruther (my favourite) - pronouced 'wren-stree" - that system is tested on the third thursday of each month, at 1pm. I know it's a massive trip but that's the only system of old fashioned sirens that still works. Broadmoor sirens no longer exist :( Give me an email if you want more information mattw.youtube@virginmedia.com
mrmattandmrchay what a shame, I've watched your siren videos for a while now and always wanted to go and listen for myself, but thanks for telling me this as you haves saved us a journey up to Wokingham, again thanks for this info. keep up the good work on CZcams though!
@@joegaskell18 you could try Devonport in Plymouth, they use CS8’s and GP12’s for a radiation leak warning system. Tested every Monday at 11:30am. They test them in Wail for about 40 seconds then go into All Clear for 15 seconds before switching off. If your standing in the right place, you can get a killer ambience, very creepy if you ask me
+Bon Ron I thought so 2 but the thing is, is that I went to multiple sirens and non of them went off and the only 1 that went off was siren g (the one next to broad moor itself) so mabye they already have...
+InstaRage FTW The Hospital is currently building new wards on site and are knocking down old buildings. All the siren towers with the siren itself are going to remain until 2018 when work is finished at the Hospital. They will then take them down but at this current time, many sirens are faulty and my predictions are that Broadmoor will leave them until the time to decommission comes.
Is one side of the siren stuck open cuz that's what it sounds like.
Yes one side is stuck open.
Our siren needs like 2 minutes but we only have 1 tone tested every saturday at 12am
But one war-siren test on october 1st
how are these activated? are they all hardwired or controlled by radio?
These are all hardwired, using telephone lines. The system dates back to the 50s and 60s. The telephone line wires were diverted to go from siren to broadmoor controllers. I do have a video showing one of the telephone lines and where it wire back to (local cabinet) which I may upload soon.
Ct siren I think has a shitted out solenoid so the damper can’t move so it maces it sound like a broken pulse
At 4:35 the sound of the wind down was my fav
Does the BS siren have its low tone shutter stuck?
Yes it does.
bravo!!
does the trl siren still work or has it been dicomissioned and I was wondering when I visited the crowthorne train station siren ,it didn't go off , has that been decomisoned to
+thunderbolt MAG These sirens are hit and miss. Sometimes I would go to a siren that's been working fine for ages and set up my camera on tripod etc, then I wait for 10am and all I can hear is a distant siren and the one in front of me does nothing! The station one here, according to the guy on the station it stopped working for about 3 weeks before I went there. Bracknell Station was one that you could rely on but that one ALSO hasn't worked for ages. I know as I've wasted my time THREE times now when it hasn't worked.
I think that half are still working but I cannot reliably tell you which ones as I don't film them that often now. I suppose they are not reacting to fault reports very quickly now and are dragging it out until they are are decommissioned in a few years.
+mrmattandmrchay cheers , I'm gonna get some close up footage of trl siren F for you on Monday and I'll see if it works
+thunderbolt MAG what day did you visit them if it was anon monday they dont sound but if it was a monday they mightnt of failed to opparate
+Shanon Delaney check out my vid , it was definitely a monday
thunderbolt MAG hmmm the siren could of faild to reseave the power
So under rated man
the sirens, or my channel? ;)
Assuming the sirens are both shaft mounted why the visual difference in rpm as they spin down? If the camera were perpendicular to the motor shaft would this imaging chip based anomaly disappear?
How many kW or hp is the motor?
Rated rpm?
For the motor question, we examined a siren here: czcams.com/video/JWHd1ewfx48/video.htmlsi=Ott-gQNZBAqyMHP9&t=671
About the visual difference, if you see the video above at 10:07, you'll notice that one at the bottom has more 'slots' than the other side. As shown in the video, one generates the 'high' tone, the other the 'low' tone. Therefore the red rotor that generates the sound - one has more 'fins' than the other which is the visual difference you noticed. Hope that helps.

Near my house there is a Broadmoor siren used to change shift for the company workers in night it starts like an beast well I closed all doors and windows so I can't hear it anymore xD and it gets tested in morning with all clear tone first and escape tone
4:35 is my favorite sound when the klaxon CS8 siren was running down
It wasn't that they did the "all clear" first in the first set. One of the air inlet flaps on that siren were broken so you could only hear part of the high/low tone. Probably too expensive to repair so they took them out of service.
Isn't the Sandhurst Training Station around here? Because if it was I would sound an attack warning during the test, as you never know something might happen to it. I think we should have them everywhere that has a military base. Anyone agree?
The Sandhurst Military Academy is not too far from these sirens but it's right next to Camberley siren.
Where they are now, used to be the old Fire house! We found a skeleton of a robin in one of the cells, and we joked that it was doing bird!
crowthone is my favorite, but it takes a bit of a trip.. I'd usually take a few weeks of normal activities before just going out to hear it
Secifically for the busted shutter
+HawkEyes Moments (Dave) i never know which ones are working and which ones are not these days. If I'm working nearby on a Monday then I pick a location and it's about 50/50 if it activates. Then it becomes a complete waste of time when it doesn't! !
I feel bad now
The bagshot siren is my favorite.
Can someone please explain what this would be used for ?
Hiya Tegan, They were installed in the 1950s/60s with the intention of warning residents in surrounding towns and villages to remain in their homes and keep their children supervised following the escape of a Broadmoor patient. Patients at this hospital are generally dangerous people who need specialist treatment and would be a danger to the public if they were treated in a standard hospital. Some should be in jail but need treatment - their behavour would be a threat to other inmates.
When the hospital was originally built, security at the facility was nothing like it is now and some would say the sirens are no longer needed. But they do a job - "to warn". Escapes can never be "impossible", but "more and more unlikely" as security and procedures improve at the hospital. Hope that answers your question :)
I can't tell a different's between the to. except for the hye low one
Man, these sound cool, I am actually sad I cant go see these things. I cant take a flight since I cannot do it as it would require one of our family members working in the UK (which is highly unlikely, as we are in the USA). And second of all, I would get confused as its a whole other world over there, and I work according to my schedule which might get messed up being over there.
You won't be able to see any of them working I'm afraid. They are all being scrapped.
Are the sirens being decommissioned yet? They are due to be taken down this year
Siren G still remains! Well worth visiting if you live close by!
Edit (31.08.20): All sirens have been decommissioned and are no longer tested.
I work in carstsairs often
They test their alarm every 3rd Thursday at 10am if my memory serves me correct
Sounds the very same
We got a briefing on what to do if the alarm went off any other time
Do these ever sound the rising falling warning that some of the Carters and Castle Castings sound in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire etc. to warn of flooding?
Dom757200 no
Nice
The reason for the Bagshot siren not working currently might be because of the fault with the All Clear starting first which is not what Broadmoor would want since it suggests to the public that theres a real escape because of no All Clear following afterwards. Bagshot siren is due for decommissioning anyway so they probably just left it potentially with the power off.
+Bon Ron These were filmed on different days, so "just maybe" they did test it the other way round... seems unlikely, but possible. I love the bagshot siren for it's slow start up.

Remember it's no longer there. If you go back in time (Oct 2010 is good, less leaves on trees) then you can see it.
Here is a link: www.google.com/maps/@51.3678795,-0.6889843,3a,75y,168.16h,87.2t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sSaA-3Yx3GLj_pERm6RweQA!2e0!5s20101001T000000!7i13312!8i6656
That’s a klaxon CS8 cool video
Can these sirens do pulse? If they can do pulse I would love to hear it
I guess they can, but that's not how they are designed to operate
@@mrmattandmrchay they did do Hi-Lo after 1960’s when Home Office retired the Hi-Lo signal for warning grey (Fallout Expected within 1 hour), originally they did pulse
+mrmattandmrchay I was wondering y the siren did the all clear tone first because I went originally to lolly hill park which is the skate park out in binfield and that went off but we were not close up to it so mabye they save money by letting off certain sirens each Monday morning like you were telling me...
I then searched it up and they have actually decomissioned 6 sirens and only let specific ones in the local area surrounding broad moor go off were as the others are not activated unless there were to be a proper escape 😬
+InstaRage FTW Hi, just wondered where you got your info about the 6 decommissioned sirens? I've been trying to follow the siren progress as best as I can. Last year they had meetings in village halls (I have a recording of one) explaining the options to the locals. They elected to decommission the "far out" sirens and keep the nearest sirens to the hospital, possibly upgrading them. Then after new hospital is built they will have only one siren, located on the hospital. After this I believe they did a U turn and decided to carry on as they are, and try to maintain the existing sirens to the best they can, hoping to stretch this out for a couple of years to save money (saves them having to do any major work during the change over from old to new hospital).
+InstaRage FTW I suspect that the ALL CLEAR tone sounded everywhere at that time. Remember that the filming of the two locations was done on completely different days (I think I recorded the Ascot one in Nov 2014 (yes, ages ago!!, and the crowthorne one more recently in Feb 2015). Reason why all clear ahead of Escape? I really don't know.
I can hear a continuous ringing sound!
Nvm the low tone shutter was actually jammed open (bagshot siren)
