A special Ealing Civic Society plaque to commemorate mathematician and computer pioneer Ada Lovelace has been unveiled in Ealing.

Ada Lovelace lived at Fordhook in 1835 in a house near the junction with Byron Road and Fordhook Avenue. She became interested in maths and calculation and developed a methodical way of working from an early age.

She encountered Charles Babbage's work on analytical engines and they worked on patterns and networks, leading to the very first concepts of computer science.

Ealing Society is grateful to South Acton Ward Forum for funding the plaque and Grimshaws and SSE Contracting.
