ORy> A country house and grounds some 50 miles N
ORth of London, England, where highly secret w
ORk deciphering intercepted German military radio messages was carried out during W
ORld War Two. Thousands of people were w
ORking there at the end of the war, including a number of early computer pioneers such as
Alan Turing. The nature and scale of the w
ORk has only emerged recently, with total secrecy having been observed by all the people involved. Throughout the war, Bletchley Park produced highly imp
ORtant strategic and tactical intelligence used by the Allies, (Churchill' s "golden eggs"), and it has been claimed that the war in Europe was probably sh
ORtened by two years as a result. An exhibition of wartime code-breaking mem
ORabilia, including an entire w
ORking
Colossus, rest
ORed by Tony Sale, can be seen at Bletchley Park on alternate weekends. The
Computer Conservation Society (CCS), a specialist group of the
British Computer Society runs a museum on the site that includes a w
ORking
Elliot mainframe computer and many early
minicomputers and
microcomputers. The CCS hope to have substantial facilities f
OR st
ORage and rest
ORation of old artifacts, as well as archive, library and research facilities. Telephone: Bletchley Park Trust office +44 (908) 640 404 (office hours and open weekends). (1998-12-18)
