The Royal School for the Blind, founded in Liverpool in 1791 and relocated to the site of Wavertree Hall in 1898, was a pioneering institution for education and care of visually impaired children, significantly impacting their social integration and quality of life. Legend surrounding the school suggests these gates will never be opened, though this is a local folklore rather than a historical fact.
