Lot Essay

'We crossed into Pendlebury and walked to the Acme Mill which Lowry continually told me was the first electrically driven cotton mill in the world. We walked to the red house and looked to the right hoping to find the famous alleyway he had painted. We both looked at each other and smiled. It had gone'.
- Harold Riley
