"Walking on Sunshine"
The hottest day of the year with temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius and I headed for the sea shore for sunset at Knott End on the Fylde Coast.
I had seen this statue of L.S. Lowry on a previous visit in the winter and thought it would make a good sunset shot in summer. So here I was.
Apparently Lowry visited Knott End frequently between the 1940's and 50's staying at boarding houses on the sea front. He became a familiar figure with the locals making sketches of scenes here. 3 of his famous pieces were of Knott End, with the "Jetty at Knott End" painted in 1957 being perhaps the most notable.
This statue of "the Matchstick Man and his dog" was funded by Preesall Town Council and made by apprentices at the WEC Group in Darwen, Lancashire and unveiled here in 2015.
