Outstations - Stanmore |
||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||
| In 1942 the Ministry of Building & Public Works allocated a large site at Stanmore to accommodate the increasing number of Bombe machines needed to support the code-breakers at Bletchley Park.
The site had accomodation for over 400 Wrens & other staff. According to Naval tradition, the facilities were named after the parts of a ship - with cabins, a galley, foc'sle and so forth. Discipline was probably more rigorous at Stanmore compared to the more rural outstations. Royal Marines guarded the entrance to the site and to 'B' block where the Bombes were located. Estimates vary as to the number of machines based on site but somewhere between 40 and 80 Bombes functioned at the height of operations. |
