Tommy Flowers

Under war-time pressure it took just eleven months for Tommy Flowers to design and build Colossus at the Post Office Research Station, Dollis Hill, in North West London. After a function test, Colossus Mk 1 delivered to Bletchley Park in late December 1943, and was working by early January 1944. 

Colossus was a computer used to decode the German messages during World War II.
