About this audio guide
This guide to the Lowry in Salford, Greater Manchester, follows one painting: L. S. Lowry's crowd of football fans streaming toward Bolton Wanderers' old ground at Burnden Park in nineteen fifty-three. It brings in the footballers' union that bought it, its chief executive Gordon Taylor, and an October day at Christie's in London. Best heard in the galleries, standing in front of the canvas itself.
