Lowry painted a number of views of Peel Park whilst studying nearby at the Salford School of Art. The present view is taken from the Royal Technical College which housed the art school.

A similar composition, painted in the same year and for which the artist executed numerous studies, is in the collection of Salford City Art Gallery (see M. Leber and J. Sandling, L.S. Lowry, Salford Art Gallery exhibition catalogue, 1987, no. 238, p. 126, pl. 11).
