Not mine unfortunately:

"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’."

Hey Gus,
How about that grenade lying on the floor near the Stahlhelm which probably blew in their faces after the photo was shot? :D
 
Yes, some really great pics.

I agree with Gus, I'd love to have those gasmasks too!

I can only wonder if they still have these items in their museum???

All the Best,

Alan
 
Great photo and a lovely idea but I wouldn't like to be in the room while blind people handle pistols and flare guns :o

Cheers
Chris
