Wih the latest cash injection - half million awarded by the lottery fund - Bletchly Park has finally been recognised for the crucial part it played shortening the second world war by at least two years. This grant will undoubtedly help Bletchley Park become a World Heritage Centre.
Interest in Bletchley has been growing, with nearly 100,000 visitors so far this year.
Carole Souter, from the Heritage Lottery Fund, said: "Bletchley Park is an extraordinary part of the UK's heritage.
"We... recognise the importance of preserving the site as a tribute to the men and women who worked there with quiet and tireless dedication during World War II."Without their dedication, our nation's history might have been a very different one."
Let's hope that we can now stop worrying about the Park's uncertain future and celebrate the fact that, in official circles, folk have finally woken up to the unique importance of this national treasure!
