Ashcroft Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 As far as I know there is only Sheffield that sounds a world war 2 air raid siren at 1pm every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't beat them, join them: given you are from Pitsmoor I assume you struggled to gain a single GCSE?

Annie Bynnol Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) It is a siren used as time signal outside HL Brown, there has been on there for nearly 150 years. As 'local time' was originally derived by sundials and therefore varied across the UK it became necessary for a more standard time. Eventually it was the railway that needed and enabled an accurate time across the UK. Both chronographs and the electric telegraph brought the 'time' here. In 1880 a law was passed to make GMT the standard time across the UK. OR The smoke was thick in Sheffield you could not use a sundial. OR The Town Hall clock was too dirty to see. OR People wanted to know what the time was in Cleethorpes- which just happens to be the same as Greenwich.

Your probably right Crookesey, Although I wouldn't class Lady's Bridge and Moorfoot as being part of the City Centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
