Thousands of people were working thereat the end of the war, including a number of early computerpioneers such as Alan Turing.

Throughout the war, Bletchley Park produced highlyimportant strategic and tactical intelligence used by theAllies, (Churchill's "golden eggs"), and it has been claimedthat the war in Europe was probably shortened by two years asa result.
An exhibition of wartime code-breaking memorabilia, includingan entire working Colossus, restored by Tony Sale, can beseen at Bletchley Park on alternate weekends.
