More about Bletchley Milton Keynes
The original town of Bletchley has now been
completely taken over by and absorbed into its larger
new-town neighbour, Milton Keynes. It is now formally in
the Borough of Milton Keynes although until 1995 it was
in Buckinghamshire. It is situated in the south-west of
the new city but still retains a distinctive identity.
Bletchley comprises of the parishes of Bletchley, Fenny
Stratford and West Bletchley.
The origin of the name of Bletchley is Anglo Saxon and
means ‘Bl?ca’s wood’. In the 12th century it was
recorded in manorial rolls as ‘Blechelai’.
Bletchley is situated on the Roman road Watling Street,
now also the A5 and was also a major Victorian railway
junction (the London and North Western Railway with the
Oxford-Cambridge line), which led to the huge urban
growth in the town in that period. Bletchley railway
station is now one of the five stations which serve
Milton Keynes and the London-Birmingham line from London
Euston, a very busy commuter line. At Fenny Stratford,
Bletchley, via the Grand Union Canal, is also linked to
London, the Midlands and the UK canal network.
Bletchley merged with nearby Fenny Stratford owing the
urban growth of the Victorian era brought by the
railways, . In the early 1960s, there was a further
substantial expansion of the town, with people from
London being relocated by the Greater London Council,
mainly to the south of Water Eaton in a new housing
estate. But it was ‘The Plan for Milton Keynes’ that
brought the most dramatic changes to the prosperity of
Bletchley.
Bletchley was included in the ‘designated area’ when the
new city of Milton Keynes was founded in 1967.
Bletchley thrived in the early years of growth of the
new city, since it was the main shopping area.
Bletchley centre was altered considerably when the
Brunel Shopping Centre was built in the early 1970s.
Previously, Queensway – formerly known as Bletchley Road
– was a continuous run from Buckingham Road near the
railway station right into Fenny Stratford. The boom
came to an abrupt end when the new Milton Keynes City
Centre was built and, in recent years, commercial
Bletchley has declined.
The town of Bletchley is also famous for Bletchley Park,
which, during the Second World War, was home to the
Government Code and Cypher School. The German Enigma
code was cracked here by, amongst others, Alan Turing.
Another cipher machine was solved with the aid of early
computing devices, known as Colossus. The park and the
main house is now a museum and attracts visitors from
far and wide.
Most districts of West Bletchley are residential, but
the district of Denbigh has been an important employment
area – perhaps its most well-known product is Marshall
Amplifiers, favoured by disc-jockeys and amateur
musicians alike. Denbigh is to the north-east of central
Bletchley.
In 2005, new large commercial developments took place
outside Bletchley, although still in the boundaries of
West Bletchley. The supermarket chain ASDA-Wal-Mart and
the Swedish furniture retailer IKEA built large stores
at Denbigh North, northeast of the town centre on
Watling Street, and Tesco responded by expanding its
Fenny Stratford store. Whether or not these new
developments accelerate the decline of the original town
centre remains to be seen.
This same area of development is also home to the new
Denbigh Stadium for Milton Keynes Dons F.C., who will
move from their current home at the National Hockey
Stadium some time in 2006. Since the away fans will
arrive via Bletchley railway station, this may bring
some added business to the town. Time will tell. |
