Information request
Picture postcard sent by Bray to The Chief Librarian, Beaney Institute, Canterbury, Kent on 28th December 1903 asking for information to be supplied.
The building opened on September 11th, 1899, and was partly paid for by a legacy of £10,000 left to the City by the late J.D. Beaney, M.D. of Melbourne, Australia who had been born in Canterbury. He left the money for "the erection and endowment of an institute for working men." It contains a free library and reading rooms on the ground floor, a museum above and a natural history section in the basement.
