The English Heritage Trust is a charity that cares for over 400 historical buildings, monuments and other places.

The sign is on the wall of the house where the press magnate Sir Arthur Pearson, who is known as the founder of the Daily Express newspaper, lived and worked.
Pearson began to lose his sight at about the age of 44, and began devoting his time to the blind population. He published a Braille dictionary, was president of the National Institute for the Blind, and in 1915 founded the St Dunstan’s Association for Blind Soldiers.
The sign was placed in 2019
