William Moon’s House, 104 Queens Road, where for many years he carried on his work of embossing books and pamphlets for the use of the blind. On the left can be seen the old Brighton Eye Infirmary, built in 1846, after having been in Boyces Street for 14 years.
The date, 1847, which now appears below the first floor centre window is misleading. This does not indicate the age of the building but the year when Dr Moon commenced embossing with a wooden press. The house was built in 1858, a small workshop at the rear having been built 2 years earlier.
