Where is the bronze statue of Alan Turing located?

The bronze statue of Alan Turing is located in Sackville Park, Manchester, now commonly identified as Sackville Gardens.

The memorial shows Turing seated on a bronze bench and holding an apple. It stands in central Manchester near the University of Manchester’s science buildings and Canal Street, the city’s historic gay village. The setting reflects both Turing’s scientific legacy and his identity as a gay man, who was prosecuted for homosexual acts in 1952.

The statue was unveiled on 23 June 2001, Turing’s birthday. It was designed by sculptor Glyn Hughes after Richard Humphry established a fund to create a public memorial. Because casting the work in Britain was expensive, the bronze statue was cast in China. Its bench carries Turing’s name and dates, along with an encoded inscription associated with the Enigma cipher.

Bletchley Park is an understandable mix-up because Turing worked there during the Second World War as part of the codebreaking effort. However, the famous Manchester statue is in Sackville Gardens, not at Bletchley Park or in London or Cambridge.
