Laurence Stephen Lowry (1887-1976) is an artist well known for his depictions of forbidding industrial scenes of North West England. He is less well known for his paintings of the North East coast, particularly of England’s northernmost town Berwick upon Tweed, of which he produced roughly 30 finished works. Though there have been exhibitions of Lowry’s work in Berwick, no example of the artist’s work has ever been retained for a public institution in Berwick until now.| Museums Northumberland
