Thanks Robin trying to re-create something like the original "The Picture Post" which was published in 1938 until 1957. Love blogging!

Whitchurch Heritage Centre

In December 1941 work was underway at the Old Rectory, Shropshire to create a GPO Listening Station.
The Old Rectory and it's "radio spies" were to intercept and record German coded messages, including Japanese diplomatic traffic, and send them to Bletchley Park.
A book, "The Old Rectory, Whitchurch, Shropshire" researched and written by Jean North, Madge Moran and Joan Barton details the history of the Rectory and these events in WWII. Jean North is pictured at Whitchurch Heritage Day event - 2015
