Air Raid Siren from Mills buzzers and hooters.
There where many mills in Horsforth and surrounding districts, each one had a siren, hooter or buzzer distinctive to that mill alone. In peace time sounded maybe ten minutes before the next shift started and reminded folk to get a move on or the gates would be locked. In war time put to a different use.
