Elliott Brothers (London) Ltd was an early computer company of the 1950s and 1960s in the United Kingdom. It traced its descent from a firm of instrument makers founded by William Elliott in London around 1804. Its research laboratories were set up in 1946 at Borehamwood, and the first Elliott 152 computer appeared in 1950. At its height the company was influential in its field. The computer scientist Bobby Hersom was an employee from 1953 to 1954, and Sir Tony Hoare worked there from August 1960 to 1968, where he wrote an ALGOL 60 compiler for the Elliott 803.
