Description: | Plastic sign entitled 'Tunnel Alarms' which shows a map of the Tyne Tunnel network. There are holes in the sign where LED lights used to be situated which would flash if an alarm were activated. Each hole corresponds with a type of alarm, for example at the point on the map marked 'Mid River', there are two holes - one linked with 'foam discharge' and the other 'gas'. Similarly, the 'South Vent' section has holes for lights reacting to fire, carbon dioxide alarm and intruders. This sign was originally in the control room located within the Tyne Tunnels administration building in Wallsend.
Material: synthetic, plastic
