biscuitfever11 writes “Bletchley Park, the home of Station X, Britain’s
secret code-breaking base during World War II, [0]barely scraping by
financially, as shown in these images compiled by ZDNet this week. The
site has undergone major redevelopment as an act of remembrance for the
Allied efforts to break the German Enigma code, but now its future is
clouded — among others, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation turned them
down for financial assistance (since it doesn’t have to do with the
Internet). Its director estimates that Bletchley Park’s funds will be
exhausted in three years. Hungry land developers are circling. This is an
insightful look at what’s happened to Bletchley Park these days and the
pain it’s going through.”
