Description
Blind men who chose to sit in the stocks from Bishopwearmouth Green. “To them, their fingers are eyes” From 1913, John Alfred Charlton Deas, a former curator at Sunderland Museum, organised several handling sessions for the blind, first offering an invitation to the children from the Sunderland Council Blind School, to handle a few of the collections at Sunderland Museum, which was ‘eagerly accepted’.
