The acoustic mirrors were built on the south and northeast coasts of England between 1916 and the 1930’s, they were intended to provide early warning of incoming enemies wanting to attack coastal towns. Now, the modern mirrors have been built for art, education and environment.
The award winning sound mirror can be found in Sunderland.
