Subject: [angelmeadow] Lowry's "The steps, irk place"





I have finally visited the Angel Meadows site which I found fascinating. (I
actually sat and had my lunch there)!

On one of the information boards there's the Lowry painting of "the steps irk
place". It states that the painting is looking up to the steps (with the charter
street ragged school on the left).

But I believe the painting is looking up the other steps on Irk Street. From
this view the flags and the church directly behind it seem to fit better. I
believe housing where once present at either side of these steps too. I also
wonder if would Lowry have not included the distinctive Ragged school red door
way if the location is correct?

Please don't take this as any kind of criticism or an opportunity to sound
clever (as this is not my intension).

It would be great to hear anyone views on this.

Craig.
