Grant for WWII code-breaking site
Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire, the top secret code-breaking hub of World War II, has been awarded nearly £500,000 of lottery funds.
The development money from the Heritage Lottery Fund will help the historic site become a world heritage and educational centre.
It is the first step towards a target of £10m to completely revamp the site.
The home of the code-breakers has been open to the public since 1994 but is in an advanced state of dilapidation.
“ Without their dedication, our nation's history might have been a very different one ”
