Bletchley Park - a photo on Flickriver

Bletchley Park

The cottage in the stable yard of Bletchley Park, where Alan Turing and some of his colleagues worked in 1939-40.

Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire was the UK’s top secret decryption and code-breaking centre during the Second World War. It was here that Alan Turing, Dilly Knox, John Jeffreys and other brilliant minds broke the ciphers of the German Enigma and Lorenz machines. It’s said that the work done at Bletchley Park – the forerunner of GCHQ – shortened the war by at least two years and thus saved millions of lives. One of the many extraordinary facts about Bletchley Park was that it employed more than 8,000 people who worked in total secrecy – and no-one outside the place knew of its existence.

Today, Bletchley Park is open to the public... and is well worth a visit.
