Knott End

Today me and Mrs MD visited Knott End on Sea, a village on the southern side of Morecambe Bay, across the Wyre estuary from Fleetwood. The Lancashire artist L.S. Lowry often visited Knott End in the 1940s and 50s. In 2015 this stainless steel statue was unveiled to celebrate the connection.
Lowry's favourite location for painting seems to have been a spot near the top of the Ferry Slip, from which position he produced several views of crowds of people hurrying up the slip from the boats in typical Lowry style.
The statue, depicting one of his characteristic "matchstick men" is positioned near to this very spot.
