🕵️♂️ Bletchley Park Interactive
Map

During World War II Bletchley Park in Milton
Keynes, England became the principal center
of Allied code-breaking. It was at
Bletchley Park that Alan Turing and other
code-breakers built Colossus, the world's
first programmable digital electronic
computer. Bletchley Park is now a
museum open to the general public. The
museum's
Bletchley Park interactive map
contains lots of useful information about
the Government Code and Cypher School and
the role that its different buildings played
in the breaking of German codes.
