I used to help with the testing of the flood sirens along the Norfolk Coast many years ago (sadly now removed I believe because apparently no-one knows what they mean!). The sirens used then were old war time ones. One thing I learnt VERY quickly - never stand under them when testing (or otherwise), because all the bits of bird nest, bird poo and everything else nasty you can think of ends up down your neck and on your head!!
I remembered growing up in Caister-on-Sea on sea they used to test the sirens every so often. It was really eerie. I'm 30 now and that's not that long ago.
I remember the one on The Fairstead in Cley-next-the-sea very well. we used to have a relative who lived about 100 yards from it and from her attic window you could see straight into the end of the rotor and were just about on level with it
@@hudsonriversirens it still would remind old folk who HEARD THIS ATTACK SIGNAL DAY AND NIGHT IN THE 2WW AND THE COLD WAR. that's why people like you dont UNDERSTAND. This is the WW2 attack signal aswell as the cold war signal.
@@jezcolborne6329 it means the flood signal today and i’m sure people know that. thanks for the unwanted monologue and the enjoyment. it’s so funny when people like you get mad!
@@hudsonriversirens but some folk would ASSUME its a WW2 siren. Just saying that the old folk might be reminded of WW2 because of the ATTACK signal. The original siren this has taken over from was first used in the cold war. By the way some people like me understand that the attack signal meant an air raid or nuclear attack. Thank god it only means a flood is in the town
Seeing how people think these are the typical designs for UK sirens is hysterical. There’s the Klaxon CS8, kind of like the GP8 on the left in the video. This siren has shutters though, to produce a hi-lo tone. This siren was used to warn people of escapees of Broadmoor hospital. These sirens were replaced by the Klaxon ES series, unknown if it’s the ES2S or a different model. All 13 sirens were replaced. There was also a Ravenstruther CS6, no shutters, very beaten up. It looked like it had bullet holes in it. Both the Ravenstruther and CS8 sirens are found on mrmattandmrchay CZcams channel
The Ravenstruther GP12 (it’s not a CS6 as those only have one shutter and a different, smaller rotor diameter) can also be found on my channel ;) I did try and film the Broadmoor ones but they failed every time I went and thus I never even heard them, let alone record one going off.
I just heard about another older siren (not the Sowerby Bridge community siren) in the Mytholmroyd area, a friend of mine is out with a bus on test and they are going up that way to see if they can see it. Is it on the flood siren system with the others?
@@al66class59 yes. The one on the fire station is a flood siren and is an x cold war siren and fire siren now used for floods. They have one at the fire station at tod as well for floods so its part of the flood system
@Jez Colborne You’ve slightly missed the point- I was originally (mistakenly) referring to the OLD fire station which does have a siren, albeit not one in the network. I am fully aware that the new fire station is meant to have a siren as well, but my original reply I’d misunderstood the question
Thanks for the video 👍. I was lucky enough to visit Hebden Bridge a couple of months ago and see both of the town's sirens for myself (plus the Morrison siren at Todmorden), and they are quite striking to look at up close. As the weather was good, they remained in sleep mode throughout my stay, although I did bring some ear defenders with me just in case 😆. Do you (or anyone) know what's happened to the old Hebden siren - scrap, relocation within Calder Valley or sale to a WWII/Cold War museum/bunker?
The KLAXON GP12 is like the SECOMAK GP12 but its the newer non cold war siren. It has the same DB rating at 145 DB and is louder than the GP8 at 130 DB and has the classic air raid tone like the GP8 but the DB rating would be not so loud if you were 100 feet away from the siren but this siren sure packs a powerful punch non the less as douse the GP8 and the SECOMAK GP8 sirens there at hebden bridge
@@al66class59 yes they did but not as klaxon. It was made first by SECOMAK as the biggest British siren in the cold war HAIL THE GP12 AND THE CS8 NOT TO MENTION THE CASTLE CASTINGS BUT SECOMAK DID MAKE AND KLAXON MAKE AWESOME SIRENS
That's interesting! I know Appleby has now got an electronic siren but I'm not aware of (m)any other flood sirens in Cumbria! Do you know where they are perchance?
Not quite sure what’s happened to it. They said at the time it would go to strategic reserve, which could mean anything really. There’s plenty of them preserved though so one disappearing isn’t the end of the world
@@al66class59 what do you search to find them. I've searched Klaxon GP10 but to no avail. Also the video where the calderdale GP10 can be heard would be interesting to see. Out of all of the major UK systems this is probably the closest to me, still a good distance away tho :/
@@al66class59 was just being jocular about the floods, but obviously they get set of alot over winter boxing day being a theme that sticks out sadly. tell you what thou its great to see them still being installed, far better then socail media
@@mintysgt seems as if more may end up being replaced too in future. Part of the reason for this one being redone was the old one was perilously close to the river, but I suspect the extra volume is a benefit
@@al66class59 but this sounds a newer attack signal because of a newer motor. Could be good for WW3 quarry or factory fire siren like they have in Scotland in stifling which is also a KLAXON GP12
From a business standpoint, it wasn’t really a dumb decision to cull the CS considering the rise of electronic sirens (which do the same job with extra functionality) and the fact nobody was buying them. The last place to buy a brand new CS siren here (as far as I know) was Devonport in the late 1990s/early 2000s.
The smaller GP8 siren was decommissioned when the new, larger, louder GP12 was installed. The GP8 has since been removed and put into storage, as far as I am aware.
Il y a un image que je n’ai mis pas dans la vidéo. Il montre le poteau vers le camera et c’est très près de la berge de rivière, parce qu’il a été érodé. La sirène loin de la caméra est une sirène nouveau pour replacer la sirène vers la caméra.
Non of these are carters. One is a SECOMAK GP8 the other a very new KLAXON GP12 THESE ARE NOT WW2 AIR RAID SIRENS. The SECOMAK is from the COLD WAR THE KLAXON IS BRAND NEW.
@@mineolabolt4928 the klaxon GP12 is a nice sounding siren as it has softer harmonics than the CS8 sirens but still really loud but I think the CS8s and GP8s and older British dual tone sirens have a raspy whine to them witch is more prominent with the harmonics and tones of the older sirens because of the vanes being more exposed then the vanes on the klaxon GP12S
What is it with Britain and horizontal sirens? Vertical ones have much better sound dispersion. On a horizontal, effectively half the sound is either thrown straight into the ground or in the air.
Don’t know. It’s worked for us you a long time already though! In fairness this thing was definitely loud enough and considering there’s multiple in the area, they do the job pretty well
@@al66class59 I wonder if they sell old sirens to small communities who can't afford a shiny new one, they do in the U.S and Canada, rarely ever is a working siren actually scrapped, often times they're refurbished and sold as there's more money to be made when compared to scrap value
@@vacexpert2020 what generally happens here is removed sirens are kept in reserve (like with the one here) or sometimes donated or sold to museums/enthusiasts.

@@vacexpert2020 Broadmoor is an exception to the general 'classic' siren survival rule, as the NHS Trust controlling the hospital decided to scrap all 13, without exception; not only were they becoming unreliable mechanically and electrically, but there was also a desire to prevent any second-hand buyers setting them off and causing undue alarm and panic among locals.
