Dover Museum’s important collection of pictures of Dover’s past has received a unique boost following the generous bequest of a collection of 122 watercolours, sketches and drawings of the town from Miss Elizabeth Knott, who died in 2005 aged 92. The watercolours are by the Horsley family, mainly by Mary Horsley. The pictures cover the period 1830 to 1900 and are a unique record of a town landscape that has now almost entirely disappeared.
