Internet search giant Google recently hosted a garden party at Bletchley Park; and also used its Street View cameras to raise much-needed funds for repairs at the historic ‘codebreaking’ site’s Block C --- which, during the Second World War, was home of Britain's code decryption team that intercepted and decoded messages from enemy forces.

According to a report in the Telegraph, the garden party and the fundraising event were a part of Google’s campaign to help restore the historic Bletchley Park location which is a Mecca for both the nerds and the historians --- it is the site where Alan Turing and his team of real-life geek superheroes helped crack the Enigma code!

Google is hopeful that with the controversial Street View service’s see-all eyes capturing Bletchley Park, people will show great interest in the location; and those who are a bit too lazy to go to Buckinghamshire themselves will be able to cruise around the site virtually from their computers.

Google is expecting the images of Bletchley Park – which presently is The National Museum of Computing – to not only help increase people’s awareness about the importance and history of the site, but also draw donations for its restoration work.

Elaborating about Google’s Bletchley Park campaign, the company’s head of communications Peter Barron said: “At Google our heroes are Alan Turing and the people who worked on breaking the codes at Bletchley Park. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that without Alan Turing, Google as we know it wouldn't exist.”
