And yes, Lowry brought his love of nature and dislike of industrial cities to his life in Dollarton B.C. (now part of the District of North Vancouver) - he hated Vancouver in the same way that that Liverpool left him cold. His need to see nature preserved is obvious in his Canadian writings, and the site of his shack on piles along the shore of Burrard Inlet is magical from a natural point of view, grand pine trees and grandiose ocean inlet views of mountains. The memory of his shack is still preserved in Cates Park, which runs along the Inlet. The "Malcolm Lowry Walk" along the shore in Cates Park passes the site, where a stele announces the location of where it once stood, and a plaque honouring Malcom Lowry is in full view of passersby - an example for the towns of Wirral or New Brighton??Arikcarlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03355792626941881011noreply@blogger.com
