Chartwell Court, 151 Brook Road, Dollis Hill
Now in use as flats, this was formerly the Post Office Research Station where Colossus was built by a team led by Tommy Flowers. Colossus was the world's first digital electronic programmable computer. Colossus and its successors were used by code breakers at Bletchley Park to decrypt German messages during the Second World War. The computer used thermionic valves (vacuum tubes) to perform the calculations. A nearby street is named Flowers Close in honour of the team leader.

Dollis Hill, former Post Office Research Station
This is now Chartwell Court flats. It was built in 1933 as the Post Office Research Station, which included telecommunications research. The history section of the BT website http://www.btplc.com tells us that:
"What is generally regarded as the world's first programmable electronic computer (Colossus) was designed and constructed by a Post Office Research Branch team headed by T H Flowers (1905-1998). It was constructed at Dollis Hill, and transported to Bletchley Park near Milton Keynes, where it was demonstrated on 8 December. Bletchley Park was the centre of British wartime code breaking operations."
