Bletchely Park (54) Appliqué map
This map - part patchwork quilt, part appliqué - was sewn later in life by a lady who, as a child, had grown up living in a house within the grounds of Bletchley Park during the war. You can see the track round the grounds through the eyes of a child who used to cycle around the place while the code-breakers were at their work. Apparently the security guards used to give the children security passes to get in and out, but they kept losing them, thus presenting an even greater security risk. The guards all knew them anyway, so they gave up with the passes.
