Former lodge 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 (part of which is visible in the background to this photo) being converted for housing (Lavender Court and Close) and the western part of the site being developed with new housing (Beechwood Park). The lodge was converted to a private residence at the same time. SeeAbility is now located in Wesley Road, on the southern part of the site.
