It was founded in Southwark in
1799 and this building in Highlands Road Leatherhead was opened
in
1902. Edward VII conferred the title "Royal School for the
Blind" in 1911, now known as SeeAbility.

main buildings were sold and
though externally the same are now converted to upmarket flats
and offices.
