“Gardner”, Gloucester: wrong kind of gardener

2 Comments Posted by on April 23, 2012

“Gardner Security” burglar alarm, Gloucester • Finally, a gardener to keep up with all these botanical sounders – though one with poor spelling, and in possession of a lion. I assumed it was this Gardner Security, who lasted from 1981 to 2010, then became subsumed by Christie Intruder Alarms, the 42-year-old firm behind the famous CIA “crouching man” sounders. But a comment below tells me that this is a different Gardner Security, of Colford in Gloucester – who sold to Modern in the 1990s, thus ending up as part of ADT So now you know. • Spotted: Town centre, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, GL1, England, 2008 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of Gloucester

    I think you have the wrong Gardner security in your information above. The bell box shown above belonged to Gardner Security of Colford Gloucester which was sold to Modern Alarms in the 1990′s which is now part of ADT.
