The statue was unveiled on Turing's birthday, June 23, 2001. On Turing's left is the University of Manchester on his right is Canal Street. Turing is sitting on a bench situated in a central position in the park. This is a photo of the Alan Turing Memorial, situated in the Sackville Park in Manchester, England. It is well worth a visit if you ever happen to be in England. It has been estimated that the work carried out at Bletchley Park shortened the war by two to four years, and that without this valuable ability to penetrate the communications of the axis powers the outcome of the war would have been uncertain.īletchley Park has been preserved as a museum and memorial to all those who worked there during the war. He and Gordon Welchman devised an early electro-mechanical computer known as the “bombe” to automate the process of cracking the German Enigma code. He led a team who developed a number of techniques for breaking the German cipher. An official pardon was granted by the Queen on December 24, 2013.ĭuring the second World War, Turing worked in Hut 8 at Bletchley Park - Britain's code-breaking center.

In 2012, many peers and scientists - including acclaimed academics such as Professor Stephen Hawking and Professor Noel Sharkey - pushed for an official pardon for Alan Turing during a high profile Internet campaign. However, Steve Job's biographer, Walter Isaacson points out that the Apple logo had a bite taken out of it simply because without this, it looked more like a cherry than an apple. Urban legend has it that this is why the Apple logo came to be an apple with a bite taken out. A half-eaten apple was found by the side of his bed and it is believed he injected this with the poison before taking a bite. It has been suggested that the combination of this - along with his sense of unfair persecution and the fact that he lost his job due to his conviction- led to his suicide from arsenic poisoning. Instead of a prison sentence, he chose to have oestrogen injections (chemical castration) to reduce his libido as an alternative to prison. In 1952, Turing was prosecuted for homosexuality, which was still a criminal offense in the UK at that time.
