Description:The Workshops for the Blind stood back off the north side of City Road between Standard Street and Elsing Street. The main building and the detached house (Sanderson House) on the right still stand. Travers Court flats now occupy the cleared site in the foreground. The Workshops date from 1934 ( with an Art Deco frontage) and occupied the site of the former Rialto Pottery. Operated by the City Council, the workshops produced a range of good such as baskets, brushes, knitted goods, bedding as well as articles for the pottery trade. The business closed in 2011.
