Forgotten Places: Bletchley Park

This whole Forgotten Metal thing has been becoming a bit more of a travel blog than anything else lately, hasn’t it? Well, I’m afraid today isn’t going to turn that tide any, and, to be frank, this Forgotten Places is more just an excuse to talk about a place that my school took us to that I thought was super interesting. With any luck, we’ll get around to some cars at some point too. We’re back in the UK for a spell, having said vaarwel to Amsterdam and the Netherlands, but not in London. No, we are about two hours north of the city, at Bletchley Park. We’re here to tell a story of technical innovation, war, secret machines, dangerous missions and, of course, the father of modern computing, Alan Turing.
