SIREN F - Wokingham, TRL (Business Park)

REMOVED: Siren F - Crowthorne TRL (Business Park)
Siren F is hard to spot. It is located in the trees in the middle of a TRL Business Park in Crowthorne. The siren is not visible from the road, like some of the others. In fact, it is barely visible on foot! To access this siren, you need to wander in the bushes along the fence line of the TRL, if you keep looking into the trees, you will eventually be able to see the siren (it is quite a long way in, as the bottom picture on the right shows). The entirety of the TRL is private land and is fenced off, with no access to the public. The road on which the siren can be seen from is called "Old Wokingham Road", just south of the roundabout where Old Wokingham Road crosses Nine Mile Ride (B-Road B3430). The road is on the southbound 94 and 194 bus routes.

In 2018, works outside of the TRL made the siren easier to see.

As of April 2018, the siren is still in place.

This siren is still in place as of today, 19.08.19. Picture added.

The siren was still in place in Apr 2021, however by August 2021 it was obvious on google streetview that it has been removed.

Siren Summary:
Is it Working? No - decomissioned, and it has a broken High-Tone shutter, which is jammed in the closed position, having an effect on the sound. How hard is it to see? 3''/5 - It is possible to see the siren, but it's not that easy. recent works around the outside of the TRL have made this siren easier to find. (This is true in 2019, the siren is still on its tower.)''

How hard is it to get to by car? 2/5 - You can park on the road itself, which is nice and easy, but actually seeing the siren can only be done on foot. You will not be able to see the siren from your car.
