| − | '''Houghton-Butcher''' Manufacturing Co. Ltd. was the manufacturer of the camera brand '''Ensign'''. It was based London. It derived from a merger of the old optical company [[Houghton]] with W. Butcher and Sons Ltd. . In 1939 it introduced the [[Ensign Ful-Vue]] box camera, one of the most popular cameras of its time in the UK. In 1945 the company should be liquidated, but with film maker Elliot and Sons Ltd. (film brand "Barnet") as new partner it survived for a while as '''Barnet Ensign Ltd.''' . In 1948 [[Ross]] an Barnet Ensign were merged to [[Barnet Ensign Ross]] (later [[Ross-Ensign]]).
