Event Description:
During World War Two, Bletchley Park became the home of the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS), most famous for breaking the Enigma cipher – a method of encryption the Germans believed to be impenetrable.
It grew from a small team of specialists based in a few already existing buildings, including a Victorian mansion, to a vast intelligence factory of almost 9,000 people in specially constructed structures.
Join Bletchley Park historians Dr David Kenyon and Dr Thomas Cheetham to find out more about the diverse architecture of Bletchley Park, from Sir Herbert Leon’s extravagant Mansion to the austere huts and blocks of World War Two. Find out how buildings were adapted or built to meet the needs of the Codebreakers and their important secret work, and how the site expanded to meet the needs of the growing workforce.
Free tickets for this event need to be booked via bletchleypark.org.uk
This event will take place in Bletchley Park’s Fellowship Auditorium, followed by the opportunity to explore Bletchley Park for free.
