Alan Turing Tea Towel

£13.99

Alan Turing designed some of the earliest computers and was pivotal in the cracking of the Enigma code used by the German Navy. Tragically, his accomplishments were never fully recognised during his lifetime due to his homosexuality, then a crime in the UK. In 1952 he was prosecuted and accepted "chemical castration" treatment as an alternative to prison. It wasn’t until 2009 that British P.M. Gordon Brown officially apologised on behalf of the British government.
