Sorry if this subject has already been posted on here, I did a search but couldn't find any thing...

I can remember a siren going off at around 13.00 every week day, when I was living in Aston/Birmingham during the 60's and 70's (I think), I never knew why it did, and where it was located, I was in Birmingham a few years back, and at one o'clock I waited for the siren and nothing....can anyone bring me up todate with any info on the siren....ta....
 
The answer to your question might be in the thread here
It has been mentioned in posts in other threads but they are very hard to find.
 
Thank you for the reply ...but the siren I remember came from within the city center or thereabouts..its wasn't what I would call a "bull" type siren, more like an air raid ...lasted around 30 seconds to a minute....., lying in bed last night trying to get some sleep when I thought about it....just very sad aren't I ........
 
Think also one used to sound in the Castle Bromwich area, might be the now Jaguar plant
