Morrissey, The Liver Building, Victoria Wood and Corrie top The Lowry’s online poll
The Lowry’s current exhibition The Myth of the North – a celebration of all things Northern - has been inviting gallery visitors to nominate their favourite Northern people, places, food and musicians - with the most popular being displayed on a specially created Wall of Fame within the exhibition.
However, the popularity of this part of the exhibition, and the passionate and divided views being expressed by visitors from all over the region prompted The Lowry to open up the vote to the whole country via an online poll.
Over 50,000 votes were cast across eight categories the final results are now in.
