At the home of British WWII codebreaking efforts, the Bletchley Park Trust faces the challenge of renovating rotting buildings and developing poor infrastructure
One of the challenges now facing the Bletchley Park Trust is renovating the site's decrepit buildings, at an estimated cost of £5m. The Trust requires an additional £5m to develop the infrastructure and conferencing facilities.
Hut 6 (pictured) at Bletchley Park was built in 1940 to house the codebreakers working on deciphering the Enigma code, used to encrypt WWII German military communications.
