Fog Horn
The Restored Fog Horn
Manufactured by Chance Bros., Birmingham, England and installed in April 1929.
In 2001 Parks and Wildlife Service together with the Low Head Progress and Heritage Association restored the full system which contains a type “G” diaphone and a Gardner Engine to full operating condition.
The now fully restored system is believed to be the only fully operational type “G” system left in the world.
This system is operated at noon on most Sundays throughout the year by a keen group of volunteers who maintain the Fog Horn.
