The Colossus, the world's first programmable digital computer, was operational by 1944, utilizing vacuum tubes rather than transistors. Transistors were invented later, with the first practical transistor created at Bell Labs in 1947. Therefore, transistors were developed approximately three years after the Colossus was built.

What was the name of the place where Colossus was made?

The Colossus computer was originally made at the Post Office Research Station at Dollis Hill in London, then after checkout and testing dismantled and transported to Bletchley Park where it was reassembled. However once the Colossus was proven they began being made directly at Bletchley Park to eliminate the delay of assembly, disassembly, and reassembly.
