Bletchley Park is located in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England and was built in 1883. It was the central site of UK Government Code and Cypher School. During World War 2 it was a key site for cracking the German codes and without it we probably wouldn't have won the war. During the time it was top secret and if anyone told people about it they would be killed. Although people assume it was mainly men working there, by 1944 75% of workers were women. In 1974 the public was granted better access to Bletchley Park. The film 'The Imitation Game' starring Benedict Cumberbatch was about Alan Turing-one of the key code breakers at Bletchley Park during the war. In addition Tessa Dunlop is writing a book about the women at Bletchley Park as they are not given enough credit .
