- Birth nameLaurence Stephen Lowry
- L.S. Lowry was born on November 1, 1887 in Stretford, Manchester, England, UK. He died on February 23, 1976 in Glossop, Derbyshire, England, UK.
- Lowry's paintings inspired the UK number one hit single "Matchstick Men and Matchstick Cats and Dogs" (1978) written by Michael Coleman and performed by Coleman and Kevin Parrott (as Brian and Michael).
- Because Lowry declined an OBE (in 1955), a CBE (in 1961), a knighthood (in 1968) and appointment as a Companion of Honour (in 1972 and 1976), he holds a record for the largest number of British honors declined.
