Bletchley Park Mansion

Bletchley Park Mansion
Day trip to Bletchley Park, where the Brits worked to break the German enigma codes, and pretty much invented modern computing, during WWII. Unfortunately, we couldn't get in to see the interior because there was filming going on -- a movie called The Imitation Game. The mansion house is also seen in the opening of The Bletchley Circle episodes.

Update: I saw The Imitation Game, and they used an entirely different mansion house (Joyce Grove, Nettlebed, Oxfordshire) for the exterior shots, which really makes no sense. But I think some of the interior shots were done inside.

What a strange and wonderful design. Seems like would be worth return trip for interior.

I know! I've got several photos in my photostream of extras on their way to and from the mansion and the craft service. We didn't see any camera dollies outside the mansion, but I just assumed that they would have done the exterior shots here as it's such a recognisable place. When I saw the movie, I kept whispering to my friend, "That's not the REAL Bletchley Park."

By the way, the Guardian gave The Imitation Game a failing mark for historical accuracy: www.theguardian.com/film/2014/nov/20/the-imitation-game-invents-new-slander-to-insult-alan-turing-reel-history
