According to a report in The Daily Telegraph, the controversial Google Street View service is being put to a good use in the UK --- with the Internet search giant having initiated a new campaign to raise funds for the restoration work on the historic pioneering computing and wartime code breaking site – the Bletchley Park.

As per the report, Google’s campaign will include the sending out of a tricycle to the Bletchley Park, complete with a 360-degree camera to capture images of the historic site, which reportedly has several huts in a dilapidated condition. During the World War II, these huts served as centers for deciphering and breaking vital German codes.

The Philanthropic arm of Google – which last month bought a batch of papers penned by the computing pioneer Alan Turing and termed his work as ‘heroic’ - intends allocating funds for the restoration of the Bletchley Park, which the company says is "close to the hearts of Google staff" because of the early work on algorithms and computer science.

Commending the work of the code breakers, Google said: "It was probably the most inspiring and uplifting achievement in scientific technology over the last hundred years."

The charitable move by Google to raise funds for the Bletchley Park restoration is being seen as the company’s attempt to regain the trust of the UK residents, who have been feeling betrayed by the use of the Street View service for the supposedly ‘inadvertent’ collection of unsolicited data by Google.
