Godfrey Pilkington (8 November 1918 - 8 July 2007) was an art dealer, director and co-founder of the Piccadilly Gallery Pilkington is remembered for his work at the Piccadilly Gallery and in the community of St. Helen's from where his family operated Pilkington Glass from 1826 to 2006. Together with his wife Eve and Christabel Briggs, Pilkington enjoyed over half a century of trade with the Piccadilly, avoiding the prevailing commercialism and the fashion for abstract art. He championed the works of neglected figurative artists, Art Nouveau and 19th and 20th Century Symbolism.
In December 2006 the Rainford Gallery in St Helens, Merseyside was renamed the Godfrey Pilkington art gallery after the gallerist. Pilkington loved cycling through London from home to work.〔 Unfortunately he was hit by a car in the Hyde Park underpass and died on 8 July 2007.〔 == References ==
