Just heard the 10 am sirens in Middlesbrough.. Which plants/factories have sirens at 10 o'clock. I have often wondered. They come from former ICI Billingham don't they?
 
It's been 10am on a Tuesday for years and years.

I started at ICI in 1979 and when I retired in 2017 I was working at Lucite which was on Oxy corner opposite the North site.

We tested on a Tuesday at 10am for as long as I can remember.
 
Thanks for the info. I hear them coming from across Newport Bridge. From Billingham. But there are several and not completely in sync.
I used to hear Wilton years ago when I was in Marton. I can hear sirens from Wilton when I'm over at Kirkleatham. Will be there next week so I will listen out.
 
You'd struggle to hear the Wilton alarms in the centre of Boro, the Billingham site is just across the river.
Yes that is right. And I know that the sirens are coming from across the Newport Bridge. I just wasn't sure from which plants. Thanks for the answers. I definitely hear at least two different sirens, one slightly behind the other.
 
Not on Teesside I know, but Devonport Dockyard in Plymouth tests nuclear sirens on a Monday morning.
Absolutely bone chilling it is too.
