Bletchley G-Block, Bletchley (VISITED May 2012) 2013

[Landie_Man]

2012:

I believe these are now converted.

2013:

What can I say? Stripped bare. Not really much to write home about.

Open: October 1943

Closed: 1991/92

After being completed in 1943; the G-block at Bletchley Park is more than likely the final wartime building to be constructed.

The G-Block was built as an extension to the F-Block. The building has a reinforced concrete frame, with steel supports in the two-storey section. The building is formed of two self contained but intercommunicating elements.

These elements include a single storey complex of five spurs to the west, and a two storey complex of three spurs forming a U-shape to the East.

The Abwehr Enigma was broken here and the successes of the D-Day deception campaigns were monitored.

I love Bletchly, It's empty but the knowledge of what you're walking around makes it something special

Nicely done, such a shame it's been left to rot given its vital importance of winning the war, should have been preserved as a site of national importance
