Beecroft Art Gallery
Beecroft Art Gallery is a gallery that was formerly located in Station Road, Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, England. The Edwardian building was donated to the people of Southend-on-Sea in 1952 by Walter Beecroft to house his eclectic collection of art works. Walter Beecroft was a solicitor in nearby Leigh. He had already set up an Art Gallery Sub-Committee of the Public Libraries & Museum Committee in 1928, and in 1947 he proposed to endow a building to become and Art Gallery. Eventually, this led to the Beecroft Art Gallery on Station Road.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.southendtimeline.com/1947.htm )〕 Beecroft also endowed the Beecroft Bequest, an art purchase fund administered by the Museums Association.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.museumsassociation.org/funding/beecroft-bequest )〕 The Gallery itself moved in 2014 to the former home of the Central Library on Victoria Avenue.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Southend Museums )〕
