Lot Essay


'Steps and things ... I liked doing steps, steps in Ancoats ... steps in Stockport ... steps anywhere you like, simply because I like steps and the area which they were in was an industrial area. I did a lot, you see. I've never found it interesting to paint pure landscapes. I'm not interested in pure landscapes'.
- L.S. Lowry
