Notes From Elsewhere
civil servand and Borough Curator
Naturalist and antiquary
Erith had a Museum as long ago as 1931, when a local resident, Mr E. Bridgstock Choat, offered his services as honorary curator. He was an historian and naturalist, who had already made some donations to the Library. The Council accepted his offer, and had part of the basement of the Library building adapted for his use as a Museum. It was formally opened in 1934.
During the 1939-45 War the museum's collections were put into store, but in 1947 Mr Choat set the Museum up again.
