Sunderland Museum
Dockside, Sunderland, 1962
L S, Lowry (1887-1976) Oil painting
Lowry particularly liked this view over the Lambton Drops on the River Wear. He painted at least three versions of it. The drops were states where coal from inland pits was transferred from railways wagons to ships for transport by sea.
