Good afternoon,



My name is Adrianne Brookes, i am emailing you to nominate L.S.Lowry for a blue plaque, i am aware there is a Red Plaque at his home in salford but from finding a news report online i think that a plaque outside of my university would be more respected and celebrated.



I have based a university project on a plaque dedicated to Lowery i created my own replica plaque that was placed in the building he studyed in as a part of a university site specific project. It was placed in the Grosvenor building in manchester metrapoliton university for only the afternoon but got lots of interest from the students and tutors.

My tutor has asked me to see if it is possible to get an officaial blue plaque dedicated to L.S.Lowry and placed on the building. He to was suprised that no such plaque existed for someone who has achieved a fantastic reputation as an artist and studyed inside the walls of our university.



There is a Plaque outsie dedicated to Adolf Vallete, L.S.Lowery was taught by the french impressionist painter for 10 years according to readings and articles i have found on the subject.

There is no recolection of L.S.Lowry at all in the university, and i have quized a number of students staff and tutors about him attending the school of art which is now Manchester Metrapoliton University, and each have said that they have never heard of it before.



I think it would be a great honour if he had a blue plaque dedicated to his life and work in a place surrounded by student following in his footsteps to further there carrer in art and design. A plaque in dedication would be great for the students as it shows the sucess of the univesity and will give the students as well as myself somebody to look up to.



I hope you will consider my nomination and agree that such a sucess of the university should be rewarded and honoured.



Thankyou for your time, hopeing to hear back from you.
