Laurence Stephen Lowry is one of Manchester’s most famous artists and his work is becoming more appreciated as times goes by – indeed a newly-discovered painting of his, ‘The Mill, Pendlebury’ recently sold for £2.65m to a private collector, a timely reminder how relevant he is 44 years after his death.

Immortalising Salford’s most prolific artist on the one thing all of us use daily is the greatest honour to a man who refused to be recognised by awards.
