The military buildings put up in Bletchley Park covered a wide area and not all of them have been restored as part of the code breaking and computing museum on the better known part of the site. This is the end of Block D, one of the so-called Spider Blocks on account of their shape, with side offices leading off a central corridor. Recognised as a significant building it achieved Listed status in 2005, Image but unfortunately is still derelict. The small notice on the wall warns that the building contains asbestos,which doesn't help matters.
