BROUGHT TO BOOK Cub reporter foils council 'disposing' of public property
2001
Overview
[Brighouse] council added to the collection until, by 1970, 593 paintings were listed, including five by James Whistler, two each by Samuel Prout and Atkinson Grimshaw, an oil attributed to Constable, eleven Hogarth engravings and a large canvas by David Hockney's teacher, Carel Weight. But since Brighouse was absorbed into Calderdale by the 1974 local government re-organisation, all but 45 of the pictures have disappeared from view. Calderdale claims that some were sold by Brighouse council before it was abolished, while most others are in store, although it will not allow them to be seen. Last June, under the council's \"Best Value Review\", a confidential memo from Rosie Crook, Calderdale's assistant director of museums and libraries, recommended as top of her list the \"closing and disposing\" of the [Alderman William Smith] gallery.
