Notes:

In 1968 Elliott Automation occupied the building that was previously used by Kent Art Printers.

Camera pointing south from its viewpoint at the top of the Brook Theatre, which at that time was Chatham Town Hall.

An Elliott drawing dated 1967 shows the proposed signage (Elliott Automation) affixed to the building, implying that the transfer of use from KAP to EA happened in 1967 or 1968. The EA building and the other buildings and houses nearby were demolished in the early 1970s to make way for the Pentagon shopping centre.

Because the company name changed to GEC-Elliott Automation and then to Marconi Elliott Avionic Systems Ltd in 1968/9, this building in The Brook could have had those names on its frontage at some time.
