Salford Improved Industrial Dwellings are built to provide reasonable housing for locals living in appalling conditions. The estate's gateway later becomes a recurring part of Lowry's iconography. 1887 Lawrence Stephen Lowry is born in Stretford, Manchester, on 1 November to middle-class parents Robert Lowry, an estate agent, and his wife Elizabeth. 1888 The first steel is produced in Salford and Manchester and the associated rolling mills open the following year. This site was noted for having one of the tallest chimneys in the country, known as Top Place Chimney, which extracted poisonous gas from the furnaces. 1889 The Lowry family move to a larger house at 4 Ellesmere Street, Longsight. 1890 Sylvia Pankhurst accompanies her father on his campaigns for Manchester's Independent Labour Party. She later recalls her outings to Ancoats and other working-class areas: 'Those endless rows of smoke-begrimed little houses, with never a tree or a flower in sight, how bitterly their ugliness smote me!' 1893 The Dwellings on Oldfield Road, Salford, are built for artisans by the Yorkshire & Lancashire Railway Co. Lowry is later captivated by them; he first depicts them in Dwellings, Ordsall Lane 1927 [Tate]. 1894 The Manchester Ship Canal becomes the world's largest navigation canal.

  • The Haunting of LS Lowry
    Societies 2013, 3, 332–347; doi:10.3390/soc3040332 OPEN ACCESS societies ISSN 2075-4698 www.mdpi.com/journal/societies Article The Haunting of L.S. Lowry: Class, Mass Spectatorship and the Image at The Lowry, Salford, UK Zoë Thompson School of Cultural Studies and Humanities, Leeds Metropolitan University, Broadcasting Place A214, Woodhouse Lane, Leeds, LS2 9EN, UK; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-0113-812-5721 Received: 4 September 2013; in revised form: 16 October 2013 / Accepted: 17 October 2013 / Published: 18 October 2013 Abstract: In a series of momentary encounters with the surface details of The Lowry Centre, a cultural venue located in Salford, Greater Manchester, UK, this article considers the fate of the image evoked by the centre’s production and staging of cultural experience. Benjamin’s notion of ‘aura’ as inimical to transformations of art and cultural spectatorship is explored, alongside its fatal incarnation in Baudrillard’s concept of ‘simulation’. L.S. Lowry, I argue, occupies the space as a medium: both as a central figure of transmission of the centre’s narrative of inclusivity through cultural regeneration, and as one who communes with phantoms: remainders of the working-class life and culture that once occupied this locale. Through an exploration of various installations there in his name, Lowry is configured as a ‘destructive character’, who, by making possible an alternative route through its spaces, refuses to allow The Lowry Centre to insulate itself from its locale and the debt it owes to its past. Keywords: aura; simulation; The Lowry; cultural regeneration; haunting; class I have been called a painter of Manchester workpeople.

  • The Lowry Hotel New Suites (PDF)
    The Lowry Hotel - Press Release Five-star Lowry Hotel’s suites refurbishment completes £5.25m makeover Six unique interiors are inspired by the paintings of artist Alan Rankle THE Lowry Hotel’s standing as the art hotel of the North of England has been boosted further by the refurbishment of six riverside suites inspired by artworks of the internationally acclaimed, Oldham- born artist Alan Rankle. Rankle has enjoyed recent high profile solo exhibitions in Copenhagen, Berlin, Milan and London which have confirmed his status as one of the most innovative painters working today. The project has been delivered by boutique global architecture and interior design practice Arney Fender Katsalidis (AFK), in collaboration with the renowned artist. AFK has designed six bespoke suites ranging in size from 82 to 92 sq m, each of which correspond to unique abstract artworks by Rankle. The six abstract artworks are reflected within the space through the selected colour schemes of the textiles and furnishings. Each suite contains an extraordinary over-scaled headboard, curved slightly around the bed, depicting an image of the original artwork. The art has been printed onto the 4m x 2.5m upholstered headboard, which is reflected into two mirrored doors opposite, allowing guests to view the piece from multiple vantage points in the room. With their refined designs, AFK has created an intimate but glamorous experience for the Lowry Hotel’s guests. Veronica Givone, Associate Director at Arney Fender Katsalidis, said: “What makes these suites so special is the way the paintings, materials and colour schemes of the room intertwine, allowing guests to really feel embraced by the art piece.” A comprehensive makeover of the 165-room hotel has taken place since September 2014.

Migrant Workers in Rochdale and Oldham Executive Summary Lisa Hunt, Andy Steele and Jenna Condie Salford Housing & Urban Studies Unit University of Salford August 2008 2 The Study In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on the migration of people from Eastern Europe and the new EU countries 1. It is now recognised that local authorities need to understand the composition and needs of their local population in order to be able to plan and deliver services effectively, as well as being able to respond to any issues relating to community cohesion 2. Consequently, some local authorities are making efforts to find out about the experiences and needs of these new and emerging communities. This research was commissioned by Oldham Housing Investment Partnership, Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council, Oldham Rochdale Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder and Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council in January 2008 and was conducted by a team of researchers from the Salford Housing & Urban Studies Unit (SHUSU) at the University of Salford.
