Paying homage to Alan Turing at a mural on the Princess Parkway by tankpetrol.com. According to Jonathan Swinton, Turing is the “patron saint of Manchester” (Swinton 2019). As a Manchester icon, he is commemorated locally by the Alan Turing building, the Alan Turing Memorial, some blue plaques and the Alan Turing Way (Cooksey 2013)

7.2 Student support

I might not be the best person to talk to, depending on what you want. If you’re a student, you might be better off contacting student support in person by the neon signs in the engineering building, see figure 7.3.

The Student Support office on the first floor of the engineering building are here to help you, they should be your first port of call. If you have something more specific about a personal, academic or employment issue I can help.

The Kilburn building shown in figure 7.2 is about 20 minutes walk from either Manchester Piccadilly (MAN) or ten minutes from Manchester Oxford Road (MCO). Our official postcode (M13 9PL) takes you to University Place (which looks like a giant tin of baked beans) next door, so you’re better of using the what3words locations (Leatherdale 2019) below which are more accurate:
