Baby

This is the blurb that goes with the replica of the computer:
In 1948, Manchester won the race to invent the world’s first modern computer.
At the University of Manchester, a computer nicknamed ‘Baby’ ran a programme electronically stored in its memory.
It contained all the elements essential to a modern computer. Manchester scientists put the city at the forefront of a global technological revolution.

I got out of Manchester just before the big football game kicked off, but I ended up watching some of it on the TV in a pub in Preston.
