I've been a fan of ACME Whistles for as long as I can remember. Swanee whistles, Sirens, Tug-boat whistles, World's Loudest Whistle etc etc, the website has audio to hear each product. I was so thrilled to discover they're in Barr Street, Birmingham, so I plan to pay them a visit.
Way back in the 1860s, Joseph Hudson, who was a Birmingham trained toolmaker, converted his humble washroom at St. Marks Square, which he rented for 1s. 6d. (one shilling and six pence per week) into a workshop. Here he did anything he could to supplement the family income from watch repairing to cobbling shoes. Today Acme whistles are recognized as some of the finest whistles manufactured in the world today.
