Blindness Through the Decades - An oral history project

Funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.

"The history of Sight loss in the Tees Valley from 1945 to the present day."

"Were you born with sight problems, or did you lose all or part of your sight in later life?"

"Were you sent away to school, or did you attend a mainstream school - or no school at all?"

"Where did you find work, if at all, and how were you treated?"

These are among the questions that Blind Voice UK will be asking over the next few months. We are looking for volunteers living in Redcar, Hartlepool and Darlington, who were born with sight loss or developed it in later life, to offer their stories about the effects of such sight loss on themselves, their families and friends, their education, employment, and social lives since the end of the Second World War. The stories will be recorded and stored as a permanent oral record of their lives at Teesside Archives.
