Alan Turing Memorial


Situated in the Sackville Park in memory of the father of modern computing.
Turing committed suicide in 1954 after being prosecuted by the police because of his (then illegal) homosexuality. As such Turing is as much a gay icon as an icon of computing, and it's no coincidence that this memorial is sited right next to Canal street - Manchester's famous gay village.

Manchester, England
