Siren tests in the 1970s?

I remember hearing sirens being sounded as a kid quite regularly when I lived in Brandwood in the ‘70s, I believe one was a factory siren but another time I was told one was a test of an Air Raid siren. Does anyone else remember air raid sirens being tested at that time?
 
I can remember the tests in the 60s when I was at school (Edgbaston district). Thursday afternoon, as I recall, about every 2 or 3 months.
 
not air raid sirens but i can well recall the siren or the bull as it was locally known being sounded at lucas gt king st telling workers its time to clock in and out..
