Edward and Harry Danziger were American-born brothers who moved to Britain in 1952 and began making television films, using resources at various facilities including London's Riverside Studios, Shepperton, Borehamwood and Nettlefold.

They converted a former wartime aero-engine testing factory, west of the Aldenham Reservoir near the village of Elstree, into a studio with six sound stages and exterior shooting facilities.

The 7.5-acre (3.0 ha) site employed 200 and was used mainly for second features and television series,[1] to be sold in both Britain and America.

[3] The site was closed in 1962 and sold to RTZ Metals in October 1965 for warehouse storage.

[1] Since the late 1980s, the site has been occupied by the Waterfront Business Park on the A411 Elstree Road.
