The secrets of Bletchley Park Codebreakers to be revealed
In time to mark the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings, in which Bletchley Park, near Milton Keynes, played a significant role supporting the deception plans and providing vital intelligence, a major restoration project of the Codebreakers’ huts and blocks is being undertaken by Appleyards (Artelia).
The £7.4m initiative will see the wartime huts at Bletchley -where the Enigma Code, among other vital signals intelligence work, was broken - restored to their wartime condition and opened to the public. Urgent restoration of historic Codebreaking Huts 3 and 6 and the development of a world-class visitor centre and exhibition space in the Card Index building, Block C, has begun.
Stephen Prowse, of project management company Appleyards (Artelia), said: 'It's really rewarding to be entrusted with helping organisations make a step change in their journey to new horizons. We thrive on and really enjoy working through the challenges that unique projects like this bring and, let's face it, it's our opportunity to contribute to the legacy of our fantastic national heritage.'
