Sunderland Memorial

Description
Blind people of Sunderland "seeing" what their Town's War memorial is to be like, by feeling a model one-tenth of its full size. The woman lost her sight through a Zeppelin raid on the town, in April, 1916. 30/11/1921 “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’.
