Bletchley Park Faces Financial Rescue

Posted by timothy on from the admirable-work-deserves-commemoration dept.

biscuitfever11 writes "Just two months ago it seemed that Bletchley Park, the home of Station X, Britain's secret code-breaking base during the War, was doomed as the codebreakers' huts rotted and the site fell into disrepair. But today Britain's Lottery Fund is set to step in with a grant to rescue the ailing heritage site. (There was an earlier story on ZDNet.)"

    (one of which is now a tea room, ah yes, nice treatment of history there guys...)

    I bet one of them was a tea-room during WWII, too, although they would have called it a canteen then.

    I guess the statement "We haven't put in an application yet" was missed by the OP. Bletchley isn't being rescued yet. They are in discussions preceding an application for the grant.
