LS Lowry was from Salford in Manchester travelled across Britain drawing and painting a variety of docks including, Glasgow, South Shields and Liverpool. Lowry painted a number of views around Liverpool. There is quite a bit of mystery surrounding the painting, as it is unclear which part of the Waterloo docks which opened in 1834 is depicted.
