Associate curators Rebecca and Brian have made a selection of photographs from our archives which depict the scenes that were the subject of Lowry’s work. Here are just a few of the very many images in our collection of mid-20th-century industrial North West England.
Hi Mr Lowry
I now live in Adelaide SA I was born in Peach Street Abercromby, i lved in four different houses in that street. I have searched for year to see if I could find a photo but to no avail, do you know if a photo is still excisting if there is how can I get a copy of one. I will be 87 in 4 weeks but I am still searching.
