Well done to everyone who voted for the Needles Old Battery in the Wickes Building with Pride competition that we’ve been featuring on VentnorBlog.
It was a pretty close shave, but Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire took the first place in the Wickes Building with Pride Competition.
The Old Battery grabbed 41% of the vote but Bletchley Park just nudged ahead with 45%.
We’re big fans of both buildings and pleased at least that the Isle of Wight managed second place.
From the 30 finalists, the top five buildings are:
1. Bletchley Park, Milton Keynes
2. The Needles Old Battery, Isle of Wight
3. The Cavern Club, Liverpool
4. The Spinnaker, Portsmouth
5. Leith Hill Tower, Dorking
Somewhere well worth visiting, Bletchley Park is now the home to the National Codes Centre and the National Museum of Computing. For more information on the estate please go to their Web site.
