Carter (or Castle Castings) found in London

Sat Jul 22, 2017 3:56 pm

I figured some of our UK friends might appreciate this:

I was prodding around in London on maps and I found this siren near Waterloo station. I am not sure what model it is (Sorry lads, not a UK siren expert!). It almost makes me wonder if it is WWII era or Cold War era, and if any more sirens are still floating around London.
24, and not dead yet.

Hate to tell you this... was found a month ago! Anyway It's just a standard Castle Castings with stator heaters on it. I think, since it is a later model, that is it from the Cold War as well.

Oh well, can't win them all, eh? I should probably pay closer attention to the times.

Well the finding wasn't publicly announced, the map link was sent to me in the Discord PMs so only me and maybe a few others knew about it.
