Abstract
About a dozen miles north-west of the centre of London, just off the Great North Road, lies the village of Borehamwood. In the 1930s, this was in a rural part of Hertfordshire, in which were clustered several large film studios. Collectively known as the Elstree Studios, after the neighbouring village of Elstree, the Borehamwood area was, by 1939, home to the largest number of motion picture production facilities outside Hollywood.

It was in 2003 that Marconi/GEC finally left the Borehamwood Laboratories and the Strong Room at Borehamwood was ‘cleared’ by the relevant authorities. Copies of certain classified Reports were officially removed; the remainder were passed to the Science Museum in London, where they remain in storage

Coales JF (1946) Elliott Research Laboratory – Borehamwood 1946. Seven typed pages and eight hand-written pages, covering the period mid-July 1945 to autumn 1946. Sent with an accompanying letter to S L H Clarke on 29 Apr 1998. A copy of the document exists in the Archive of the Institution of Electrical Engineers, London, catalogue number SC168/1/6/2/3. In the accompanying letter, John Coales says that he hopes to continue writing about Borehamwood ‘because there is a lot during the next two years including the security problems and relationships with BTM etc. that now only I know about’. He explains in the letter that he has not been in good health. John Coales died on 6 June 1999, aged 92, having been unable to continue his account
