Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park is the historic site of the secret British code breaking activities during WWII and also the birthplace of the modern computer. During the war, a network of wireless intercept stations listened in to the enemy’s radio messages and were decoded and analysed at Bletchley Park. To speed up the code breaking process, the brilliant mathematician Alan Turing developed an electro-mechanical machine that greatly reduced the time required to break the encrypted messages and had a massive affect on the outcome of the war.
