The Prince's Regeneration Trust Appointed to Lead on Regeneration of 
Bletchley Park


The Prince's Regeneration Trust and the Bletchley Park Trustees are 
pleased to announce that the Trust has been appointed to project manage 
the regeneration of Bletchley Park.

The role of Bletchley Park as 'Station X' the hub of Britain's World War 
Two decryption operations puts it among one of the most significant sites 
in Twentieth Century military history. The site has a key role in post-war 
developments as well with the Colossus machines built at Bletchley from 
1943 onwards pre-figuring the development of the modern programmable 
computer. The decisive role of the cryptography which almost certainly 
altered the course of WWII decisively in favour of the Allies, and the 
intellectual breakthroughs associated with this and the later Colossus 
programme, make Bletchley the cradle of the computer age.

The Trust will be restoring several areas of the site, including some of 
the legendary huts in which the code breaking took place. The aim of the 
regeneration project is to enhance the visitor experience, providing a 
more dynamic tour, more educational events and activities, and better 
visitor facilities..../snip/
