EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive takes us back to a significant moment in British history. The image showcases the computer room at Concord House, located on South Street in Devon, during its early days of operation. Dated 11th April 1962, this snapshot captures two dedicated men diligently working with tape machines within the computer unit. Concord House holds immense historical value as it was specifically constructed for the Commercial Union Assurance Company. However, what truly sets this photograph apart is that it features Britain's very first computer installation for commercial purposes. While we cannot help but marvel at the technological advancements depicted here, let us not forget that this particular caption refrains from mentioning its groundbreaking commercial use. The atmosphere within this bustling computer room is palpable; one can almost hear the rhythmic hum of machinery and feel an air of excitement surrounding these pioneering individuals. Their commitment to their work is evident through their focused expressions and meticulous attention to detail. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, we are reminded of how far technology has come since those early days. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation while offering a glimpse into an era when computers were still novel and awe-inspiring creations shaping our world behind closed doors.
