People living in the Milton Keynes area forty years ago came under
the auspices of three towns, thirteen villages and a country
council. Many changes have taken place in this time and it is the
people, whose experiences and reminiscences are recorded here, who
have shaped the area into the remarkable city it is today. 'Wives
did not work. Their job was to stay at home, keep it clean and
tidy, look after the children and make sure there was a cooked meal
on the table when the husband got home from work. There was no such
thing as microwaves and washing machines. If you were lucky you had
a Goblin vacuum cleaner. All the meals were cooked with fresh
vegetables and the pies were home made.' All contributions come
from the oral archives kept at the Living Archive of Milton Keynes
which has been collecting reminiscences from city residents since
1975, and are complemented by 100 photographs from their
collection.
The British government's top secret Code & Cypher School at
Bletchley Park, otherwise known as Station X, was the unlikely
setting for one of the most vital undercover operations of the
Second World War. It was at Bletchley in present-day Milton Keynes
that teams of code breakers succeeded in cracking Germany's
supposedly unbreakable Enigma codes, thereby shortening the war by
at least two years.
Marion Hill has used the transcripts of some 200 interviews and
memoirs from among the thousands of people who worked at Station X
to give a remarkable insight into the daily lives of the civilian
and service personnel who contributed to the breaking of the Enigma
and other Axis codes. She explores their recruitment and training,
their first impressions on arrival at Bletchley Park ('BP'), their
working conditions, (including the in house food and
entertainment), and their time off in billets and beyond. These BP
workers, from boffins and debs to ex-bank clerks and engineers,
were united in the need to 'keep mum' - even with their family and
close friends. However, the stressful burden of secrecy created
divisions within the organisation, and illnesses; and many felt
disappointed at the lack of acknowledgement for a vital job about
which they were forbidden to speak until many years later.
A selection of archive photographs and illustrations accompanies
the text, drawn from the Bletchley Park Trust Archive and from the
personal albums of those stationed at Bletchley.
