The huts where the code breaking took place were authentically kitted out so K & W could get a feel for the scale of the work that was carried out there and the sense of urgency each day in the race to decipher messages.
One of most interesting characters in the history of Bletchley is of course Alan Turing although there are numerous exciting stories of others. Dilly Knox was a fantastic person to find out about at Bletchley as we've got the memorial to him in the village.
Oh - and when the boys started asking 'can we go home now?' (there is a limit to 7 & 9 year old interest in war memorabilia) ... there's a really great little cafe and park! Happy days.
PS. You can go back free for a year so when we cover probability in Maths we'll head back to Hut 8 as there are great resources there. There's a separately charged National Museum of Computing on site which will also be worth a look on a return visit for ICT.
