Burglar Alarm Britain

Where vigilante culture meets vernacular design

“Kestrel Alarms”, Brighton: through the keyhole

“Kestrel Alarms” burglar alarm, Brighton • Another Kestrel that’s made a hostile takeover, this time of a firm called Keyhole Security, whose name resides in a giant keyhole shape – I need to find one of these unstickered for my “locksmithery” set. Despite sporting Lib-Dem orange, yesterday’s Kestrel was in the Conservative consituency of Brighton Kemptown, while this example lives in the only Green constituency in England, Brighton Pavilion. Both Brighton constituencies, along with my blog, will be mightily shaken up if the proposed boundary changes come into effect, morphing into Lewes & Brighton East (likely Tory) and Brighton Pavilion & Hove (likely Labour). In other words, bye bye Greens. (There’s a brilliant map from the Guardian here showing the changes.) • Spotted: North Road, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1, England, 2010 • Politics: In the Green constituency of Brighton Pavilion
