Sackville Gardens

Why go

Two memorials give this modest space a depth that its size might hide. Turing’s seated figure recalls his work and the prejudice he faced; the Beacon of Hope commemorates people affected by HIV and AIDS. Together they make the gardens a thoughtful continuation of a Canal Street walk.

What to look for

• Alan Turing is depicted seated on a bench.
• The Beacon of Hope is a memorial to people affected by HIV and AIDS.
• The gardens sit close to Canal Street and the Rochdale Canal.

Useful to know

• Enter from Sackville Street while walking the Gay Village.
• Make time for both memorials; the gardens themselves are compact.
