Bletchley Park lands £4.6m restoration bonanza

Wartime codebreakers HQ Bletchley Park has won a grant of £4.6m from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

The much-needed funds will be used to build a visitor centre at the historic WWII number-crunching centre as well as carrying out restoration work on other buildings at the facility — once matched funding of £1.7m from private-sector donations has been raised.

Bletchley Park has launched an Action This Day campaign to raise the required private funding — via redwolf.newsvine.com
