Black Marble Tours Bletchley Park and the National Museum of Computing

September 1, 2009

Black Marble proudly supports the important work of the Bletchley Park Trust and the National Museum of Computing, and in September 2009, a number of the Black Marble team took the opportunity to tour both organisations.

The Bletchley Park Trust manages the historic site of Station X , the base of British codebreaking activities during World War II and birthplace of the modern computer.

The team behind the National Museum of Computing are striving to bring a hands-on approach to technology history, with the world’s first purpose built computer centre, the oldest working computer and of course, Colossus – the first digital, programmable, and electronic machine.

We would like to thank Niki Holmes-Bridges from the Bletchley Park Trust and Kevin Murrell and Bob Jones from the National Museum of Computing for their kindness and our behind the scenes tour, contributing to our great day out.
