SUMMARY:Somerset IAS – The World War II Listening Stations of the South-West
DESCRIPTION:Speaker Colin White has identified the locations and condition of around twenty-five World War II covert listening stations (known as “Y-Stations”) in the West Country\, many along the strategically important coastlines of the English and Bristol Channels. \nThey collected vast quantities of encrypted enemy radio messages\, which were the raw material for the codebreakers at Bletchley Park who\, it is believed\, shortened the war by as much as two years. The Y- stations were staffed by a diverse group of people\, including members of the Army\, Navy\, RAF\, Foreign Office\, GPO\, and the Marconi Company. \n  \nThere is no charge to SIAS members\, guests are welcome at £3. \nAt Silver Street there is also a free-of-charge Book Exchange and SIAS publications are on sale at reduced price for members.
