Unseen Lowry painting

[Dr Dweeb]

He (or his mother) lived on Station Road Swinton I think, just opposite where the Willows was and where Matalan is now. I like Lowry's work but if you've seen one, you've seen them all.

They lived on Station Road Pendlebury. Swinton lies to the South of the railway. Boundary Road runs off Station Road Swinton.

THANK YOU! Glad somebody got this right, and neither place is "Salford."
Mind you, Swinton R.L. ground was also north of Boundary Rd but was still called Swinton.
I think Ben Kingsley lived on Station Rd., too, the northern part, while he was going to MGS. Used to be a plaque on the wall to him but not been by in years.

A young couple bought it from the people who bought it after he died. There was a lovely story about them taking up the carpet in one room to find s load of paint splashed on the floor.

Is there still a statue of him sitting on a bench at the top of Mottram moor?

They should pull up the floorboards and sell them.

"And he painted match stalk cats and dogs,
He painted kids on the corner of the street who were sparking clogs".
Lawrence Stephen Lowry.
Strange really,cos I always thought his first names were Brian Michael.
