Hinsley Walk, MILTON KEYNES, MK3 6FE

The Exhibition houses many interesting and well documented relics of WWII - particularly cipher and 'code-breaking' machines - and also the fine statue of the mathematician and cryptanalyst, Alan Turing, shown here ... Image

Originally the home of the financier and Liberal MP, Sir Herbert Samuel Leon (1850–1926), the Bletchley Park estate passed out of the Leon family in 1937. During World War II the estate became the site of the UK's main decryption effort, becoming known as Station X. It was here that the codes and ciphers of several Axis countries were decrypted, most important being the ciphers generated by the German Enigma and Lorenz machines. Some 9,000 people were working at Bletchley Park at the height of the code-breaking efforts, many of the teams being housed in temporary huts designated by numbers - Hut 8, shown here, housed the Bletchley Park team tasked with breaking into German naval wireless traffic encrypted using the Enigma machine.

The adjacent Hut 3 (painted pink) handled the translation and intelligence analysis of the raw decrypts provided by Hut 6. See also . . . . Image; Image; Image; Image; Image; Image
