| Notes / History | Decca are best known for their record business and having turned down the Beatles. However they also had other companies such as Decca Radar and Decca Navigation. Decca Radar were taken over by Racal in 1979 to form Racal-Decca of which Racal Marine were part. The comapny offices of Decca/Racal were spread across the corner of the London Borough of Merton in the Burlington Road and Bushey Road area where they occupied a number of buildings. This building was Burlington House, Burlington Road around No: 150 and is the last building on the boundary between Merton and Kingston borough councils. |
