Bletchley park is well known as being home of the famous code breakers the site is set in the grounds of a Manor House,and as the war progressed it stretched into blocks and huts in the grounds.the site started with a handfu of people working there.and at its peak there was 10,000 personal here.some of the brightest young minds were recruited to break the codes of the axis forces and then the Japanese later.the German enigma was cracked here.and they say the work of the people here could have shortened the war by two years.the enigma had been in use since 1918 and was thought to be flawless but a team working under Alan Turing,prob the most renowned code breaker.in huts 3,6,4 and 8 finally cracked it.they could now intercept the German messages.this helped greatly in the d day landings too.there was so much more went on here too.i could copy and paste loads from Wikipedia,but there is plenty to read out there,and a film I must see now about the works of Turing.

Visited with rubex after looking at overstone hall and seeing they have put the most massive new fence up.with barb wire n it.and a secca van parked inside with two big dogs..so I remembered the code breakers place.and I have not seen a report on here for a while.i had been last year and found part of the site.but always wanted to see the G block.so we drove down to it and hit both sites.i really enjoyed it
Block G
The block here was used as traffic analysis and deception operations.i really enjoyed seeing this.as a lover of anything Second World War and this place is legendary.as I wandered the corridors I thought from a photo side of things it was amazing.some of the best natural decay you will see,and from an exploring side of things at points I was lost in a world of my own.thinking of all the histor of the place and what secrets the place holds still.as all workers where made to sign the official secrets act for life..
This was site two.i did stumble upon this last year.i don't think it's well known.i just found it because I drove up the road which is a dead end to turn around.i still don't know what this was used for.i can't find anything on maps about it.it sits just outside the main site.its obviously been used for other purposes since the.sadly now it seems the kids have got in there,still some nice shots to be had though.
