Description
The Deaf and Dumb Asylum was founded at Fort Place, Bermondsey in 1792 by the Rev. John Townsend. In 1807-1809 new, larger, premises were constructed in Kent Road [now the Old Kent Road] to the designs of Thomas Swithin [Gentleman's Magazine 1807, ii, 678]. The first teacher was Joseph Watson, whose book 'Instruction of the deaf and dumb' appeared in 1809.
