Finding out about the women who worked there is how I first got interested in Bletchley Park in 2003, I got funding for an oral history project
“The Women of Station X” to record the memories of the women who worked there:

and some of the highlights on my blog from 2008, read from the bottom up to get an overview of how my campaign started and what we did including getting Stephen Fry involved:

It’s been so wonderful to see the recognition of Bletchley Park growing over the years since the campaign started with books like
Andrew Hodges – Alan Turing: The Enigma getting recognition and films being made like
The Imitation Game starring great Hollywood actors like Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley.
