This is great news! The site played such an important role in the history of computer science, that it really deserves to be preserved. I've been there myself, and they've created a wonderful museum there.

The Colossus rebuild headed by Tony Sale is so impressive, he is such an enthousiastic character. It's worth visiting there just to meet him and see what he's done.

Agreed - the Colossus is simply amazing. Last time I went the thing was actually running - chattering away, lights blinking, tape flying around, busy decrypting a German naval message from 1944.

I hope at least some of this finds its way to the computing museum there as well as the park itself. A fantastic place and I'm thrilled to have been this year.

I think their intent is to restore everything. The computing museum is what draws the majority of people in, but they're not going to stay long if the grounds look like they haven't been touched since WW2.

All of the communities I hang out in online, when organising a general meet up, choose bletchley park as the location.

It's good to see some money going that way :)

This is extremely good news.

It's a landmark year for English computing history, first the apology, now this.

Too bad the funding isn't for doing more good research there

About bloody time!
