Lowry Steps, Crowther Street, Stockport

Located on Hillgate, Stockport, Crowther Street became the subject for one of the world’s most famous artists L S Lowry in the 1930’s when he painted “A Street in Stockport”.

The street became very run down in the 1960s and was demolished as part of slum clearances. Johnnie Johnson Housing appointed Bowker Sadler to successfully replace the houses in a heritage style in order to protect the setting of the Conservation Area within which it is located.
