“We set ourselves a target of 12,000 visitors and we are already past 15,000,” he said.
“Feedback has been really positive and we’ve been hearing from hotels, bed and breakfasts and shops that they’ve had people coming to visit just to see the exhibition.”
Claire Morton, joint owner of Slightly Foxed bookshop says the exhibition has brought “a real buzz” to the town.
“We’ve always stocked Lowry prints and for the exhibition we stocked up on books on him too and they have all sold really well,” she said.
“A lot of people don’t realise that Lowry had any connection to the town and this exhibition was a great way to put Berwick on the map.”
