Dollis Hill

Brent

Nobody is quite sure where 'Dollis Hill' comes from.

One idea is a local family called Dalley. In the Second World War the Post Office Research Station here built Colossus, one of the first electronic computers, for the codebreakers at Bletchley Park. Churchill's emergency bunker, 'Paddock', is also nearby.
