How does that very obvious listening device compare with the listening post at Selsey, which looks like an abandoned 60’s built corporation community centre? The sound mirror is said to be inside the building. https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101271803-the-listening-post-selsey https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:The_Listening_Post,_Selsey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 "Known locally as the listening post, the mirror is of a similar design to the ones at Boulby, Redcar and Sunderland, but with a roof added, as well as various extensions and a window in the back." https://www.andrewgrantham.co.uk/soundmirrors/locations/selsey/ This is Boulby: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes: https://www.durhamatwar.org.uk/story/11542/ "The mirror is 300 metres north west of Fulwell Mill. Access is via a track off the A1018 Newcastle road northbound -turn sharp left after the Volkswagen garage. The mirror could give about 15 minutes warning of a zeppelin raid giving time for anti-aircraft batteries and fighter aircraft to be alerted." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Misfit Posted December 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 Yes Broadsands “Granny’s beech” Mansands is nearer, although perhaps lacks ease of access. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
