A single large stage was built in Station Road, Borehamwood, in 1928 by Whitehall Films Ltd, but the company was dissolved in 1930, and its studio sold to Audible Filmcraft, who, in turn, crashed in August 1932. Consolidated Film Studios took over the lease in November 1933, then Independent Producers Studios acquired the studio in July 1935. In November 1935,
Julius Hagen, the owner of
Twickenham Studios, bought the site and formed a new company, J.H. Studios. Harkness Screens moved out of the site in 2004 having established a global manufacturing base in France and
the US and relocated its UK operation to a new production facility in Stevenage. The building in Borehamwood was demolished in 2006 to make way for 133 new properties, the development being named Gate Studios in homage to the former site. ==Films shot at the studios==
