Extract From: HELEN LITTLE: Lowry and the Changing Landscape of Modern Life in TJ CLARK and ANNE M WAGNER: Lowry and the Painting of Modern Life
Extract from: HELEN LITTLE: Lowry and the changing landscape of modern life in TJ CLARK AND ANNE M WAGNER: Lowry and the painting of modern Life. Tate Publishing [London], 2013, p209-215 1870 The Manchester Guardian publishes a series of articles on the city's slums, opening with a scene of eighteen adults and several babies squeezed round a single fireplace. 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. -

Greater Manchester Transport Strategy 2040 Executive Summary
GREATER MANCHESTER TRANSPORT STRATEGY 2040 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A sustainable urban mobility plan for the future February 2017 2 GREATER MANCHESTER TRANSPORT STRATEGY 2040 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Contents 1 Introduction 4 2 Our vision 5 3 Critical transport challenges 6 4 Keeping it customer-focussed 10 5 From local neighbourhoods to global markets 13 6 Making it happen 22 3 1 Introduction 1. Greater Manchester is changing. Not only is it growing, both in terms of population and economy, it is also on a path towards significant devolution of powers and funding from central Government, supported by a directly- elected mayor. It is in this context of change that we are developing our 2040 Transport Strategy. 2. The aim is to establish a fully integrated, high capacity transport system for Greater Manchester, with travelling customers at its heart. 3. Transport is crucial in supporting Greater Manchester’s ambitious plans – growth will need and be driven by new connectivity. This is true on both a local and pan-northern level; Greater Manchester has a fundamental role to play at the heart of a successful Northern Powerhouse. 4. Why 2040? The opportunities offered by devolution and greater local determination allow us to take a much bolder and longer-term view of our transport needs. We want to take this opportunity to ensure that we can sustain the success of Greater Manchester for generations to come. 5. Our 2040 Vision for Transport, which we consulted on in 2015, set the scene for the start of a radical, and ambitious, new approach to planning our transport system in support of long-term needs and aspirations. -

Local Plan Call for Sites Consultation Form (July 2018)
Regulation 18 Local Plan Call for Sites Consultation Form (July 2018) The Local Plan will make site specific allocations for housing, employment and green spaces, similar to those in the Revised Trafford UDP. As part of the Issues Paper consultation we welcome the submission of any sites you wish to be considered for development, protection or for some other purpose within Trafford. Each submission will be assessed in terms of its ‘fit’ with the Local Plan and against sustainability criteria, which may ultimately lead to the site being allocated. Sites submitted for development will be assessed to establish their capacity, suitability, availability and achievability, taking into account planning policy, the environment and local constraints and the extent to which they can be mitigated or addressed. Sites submitted to be considered for protection or another purpose will be assessed on their suitability for the proposed use. The Call for Sites will not determine whether a site should be allocated for a particular use, it is a technical exercise aimed at identifying the potential of sites for different allocations. Guidelines Use a separate Call for Sites form for each site Submit an Ordnance Survey map clearly showing the boundaries of the site. If there is more than one landowner, please ensure the land ownership boundaries are clearly defined on the map, and please provide confirmation that each landowner is in agreement of the consideration of the land for possible development. If the site is to be considered in conjunction with other sites, to form a larger development area, please ensure details are clearly provided within the form. -
