Yes, they were designed to 'warn' residents of an escape. But the only 'loud' sound they could come up with in the 50s/60s was this! Nowadays they'd be a speaker siren where they can put what ever sound they want. The old siren sound I agree would terrify me if it activated in the night.

And there are over 16 primary schools in the sirens radius so it's better to be safe and sound.

I grew up next to one and they had no public alert system (Oakwood Hospital Maidstone) we didn't know someone had escaped until the area was flooded with police and hospital security. Side note. A friend of mine lived down the road in the first house. We were playing in his cellar when he showed me a bricked up tunnel. His mum said that it was a tunnel under the road into the hospital. I was used in Victorian times so well to do families didn't suffer the shame of taking their crazy relative in the front gates. Instead they went into the house and that was it for them. They were taken through the tunnel to the hospital.

+Super Trini Gamer Cool, yeah that's right... WHY ARE THERE ESCAPE SIRENS? They were installed in the 1950s/60s with the intention of warning residents in surrounding towns and villages to remain in their homes and keep their children supervised following the escape of a Broadmoor patient. Patients at this hospital are generally dangerous people who need specialist treatment and would be a danger to the public if they were treated in a standard hospital. Some should be in jail but need treatment - their behavour would be a threat to other inmates. When the hospital was originally built, security at the facility was nothing like it is now and some would say the sirens are no longer needed. But they do a job - "to warn". Escapes can never be "impossible", but "more and more unlikely" as security and procedures improve at the hospital.

I'm not sure what it has to do with a secure mental hospital, but in medical terms a "Patient Zero" is the first patient identified with a specific illness or disease in a country (or the world). Like, for example, the very first person in the UK to come down with Ebola would be marked as Patient Zero.

The first time I heard this siren, me and my family were house hunting in Owlsmoor. (The estate closest to Broadmoor.) I was only 11 at the time. We had just walked out into the person's back garden, when the siren went off! I screamed, hyper ventilated, curled up in a ball and shook uncontrollably! I had never heard anything like it in my life before! I have never forgotten that day!

I have the broadmoor siren as my ringtone. I love how when my phone goes off, everybody recognises the siren straight away.

As a school kid I remember very clearly hearing this every Monday at 1000hrs then silence then the all clear at 1005. It only sounded twice the entire time I lived in Bracknell to signify an escape. Once whilst at school when I was in final year and my mum had to collect me. Me 6’1 my mum 5’4 !! And then once in the middle of the night . We lived less than 10 mins from the hospital and my dad got up and checked all doors and windows . The patient was apprehended less than 1 mile from my home a few days later trying to sell his watch !

About 4 years ago we had a thunderstorm early in the morning starting about 02.00 and rumbling on till about 4ish , just as it was getting light and the storm had started calming down there was a massive flash of lightning and an Almighty clap of thunder , and under an ominous sky the alarm was triggered, it was the eeriest moment ive known . So of course no one knew if there had been an escape or not because it went on for hours . Of course nothing is scarier than an ACTUAL escape , which hasn't happend for a good few years ..thankfully...

Ahh growing up with these makes Monday feel even more of a Warzone, sadly I believe they wish to dismantle them in favour of social media alerts for local residents because social media is quicker then pressing a button and have 13 sirens cake the area in a very distinct noise?

Nice work mrmattandmrchay. I have lived in the area for almost 6 months now, but due to work / being unlucky I have never heard these sirens despite living about 1 mile north west of the Ascot siren. I have a Monday off work in a couple of weeks time so I plan on heading out to see the siren even though your video reveals one of the shutters is jammed at this particular location. It is interesting we had a siren when I used to live in Plymouth, which was also tested every Monday morning, this time to warn of nuclear accident at the dockyard and we had leaflets periodically distributed to us about what to do when the siren goes off. Essentially lock yourself in your house tune your radio to the local radio station follow instructions, if told take your iodine tablets in the back of the kitchen cupboard and hope for the best. Interestingly no similar advice since I have moved in here, although I expect it to be largely the same apart from the Iodine tablets, and to call 999 if a shady character is shuffling around outside your window. I don't think the one near Bracknell station works any more since it was struck by lightening a few months ago, I wonder if it'll ever get fixed.

Imagine hearing this and then panicking knowing there's a possible murderer on the loose with no telephones or tvs just this

I remember hearing this siren every Monday morning at school. Memories lol

Brain Damage by Pink Floyd: The lunatic is on the grass The lunatic is on the grass Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs Got to keep the loonies on the path The lunatic is in the hall The lunatics are in my hall The paper holds their folded faces to the floor And every day the paper boy brings more And if the dam breaks open many years too soon And if there is no room upon the hill And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too I'll see you on the dark side of the moon The lunatic is in my head The lunatic is in my head You raise the blade, you make the change You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane You lock the door And throw away the key There's someone in my head but it's not me. And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear You shout and no one seems to hear And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes I'll see you on the dark side of the moon "I can't think of anything to say except... I think it's marvellous! HaHaHa!"

Monday morning would be a good time to escape no?

malkycombat hehe. they have a complete lockdown at that time so it would be very difficult. Although the siren would go longer if that happened so people would know. But it's unlikely.

That's a lot of heavy spinning metal, so it probably takes a long time to spin down those sirens.

Aren’t they taking these down now ;( ! ? Nice video!

Really wish someone would give me one of those.

It's a weird feeling listening to these activate, when you're almost underneath them!

For an almost ten year old video, this is absolutely quality footage! I wish I could’ve seen the CS8’s while they were still there 😢 luckily we have carstairs 😁

I wish I'd taken more footage as my cameras were replaced over the years to better ones. The cameras (before the gopros) were Sony cameras with reasonable zoom lenses. The first ones (not this is, this is 1080p) I filmed I think were in 720p, which was quite high spec for those days. Yep, just seen some of your Carstairs siren videos - do you live local to Carstairs?

⁠@@mrmattandmrchayI don’t live local but I live under two hours away, so my parents take me a few times a year depending if I’m off school or not. Any cheapish camera recommendations due to my Carnwath siren c video cutting out because of the rain 😢

@@mrmattandmrchayah yes, I’ve seen that video a few times. Bagshot is probably my favourite broadmoor siren because of the jammed open shutter as it gives a nice wind down. And also the good shutter angles you can get 😮 (Just realised the shutter wasn’t jammed in this video 😂)

You're a bit nearer than me then! I'm about 5 hours away :) My previous cameras were a Sony WX380 and Sony HX90, but we're talking 6 years ago or more! Current cameras, sorry, no idea! I suppose anything providing they have a reasonable zoom lens (20x zoom) and can video record at 1080p at least.

Imagine Being up the tower performing maintenance when it activated. The escapee would be the least concern.
