According to the accompanying plaque this is where the celebrated northern painter, LS Lowry, would stand to sketch the ferry and its occupants during his summer visits in the 1940s and 1950s. His paintings from this time include many rural and coastal scenes inspired by his visits to Knott End and the beautiful coastline of the North West. Lowry's sketches of the ferry, drawn from this spot, became the basis of his painting "Jetty at Knott End" in 1957.

This sculpture was created by WEC Group Ltd in Darwen and was fabricated by first year apprentices from its welding and engineering training academy.

It was commissioned by Preesall Town Council and Wyre Council and unveiled on 11 September 2015.
