Photo Break



It was the day before the Jericho Street fair in Oxford and the block had on it's finest
Punting in Cambridge. Most of these people tried punting for the first time this day and fell into the water. We went for the pro punter.
I don't entirely understand how time zones work, but here's the start of it in Greenwich!

The National Museum of Computing - Bletchley Park

Our trip to Bletchley Park was the one that I was most looking forward to, having a vague idea about the covert activities that occurred there during the Second World War thanks to shows like The Bletchley Circle and  movies like the Imitation Game   (which takes bold creative liberties, it turns out).  We were there to see the National Museum of Computing ,  which is actually a separate entity from Bletchley Park though they share a space and a history.

I went to this museum to find out more information about train travel and timetables for my research paper, and though I was disappointed to learn the library is closed because they are in the process of moving their collection, I was able to find out lots about the evolution of all forms of London's transportation and their projections for the future. They also have an excellent website with lots of information about their library's physical and digital collection which has filled in a lot of gaps for me.  According to their website, the LTM library "holds a unique collection of over 14,000 books, journals and special collections covering the development of public transport in London – past, present and future."
