Summary
| Description |
English: Former main building of the Royal School for the Blind (originally the School for the Indigent Blind and later SeeAbility), dating from 1902 after the school moved here from Southwark. During the Second World War it was used by King's College Hospital for part of the Emergency Medical Service. After decommissioning in 1946 it became an infirmary for Chelsea Pensioners in which role it served until 1956. It was then modernised and was restored to its original use in 1958. With the move by the charity to more community based support, much of the site was sold in the late 1990s, with the main block being converted for housing (Lavender Court and Close) and the western part of the site being developed with new housing (Beechwood Park). SeeAbility is now located in Wesley Road, on the southern part of the site. |
