Former chapel 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. 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. The chapel was converted to serviced offices for local entrepreneurs, known as the Chapel of Ideas. (At the time of this photo, the building had recently been sold, and the boarding would suggest that it might be undergoing work).
