L. S. LOWY

• L. S. Lowry (Laurence Stephen Lowry) was born on 1st November 1887 in Stretford near MANCHESTER, UK.

• Lowry had an unhappy childhood.

• He wasn’t very popular at school, didn’t have a very close relationship with his parents, and he had few friends.

• The Lowry family moved to the industrial town of Pendlebury in 1909.

• The landscape was filled with textile mills and the chimneys of factories, and this imagery left its mark on the young L. S. Lowry.
