| Description | Interview with Mr Richards. He discusses the changes in his eyesight over a period of years, adjusting to his loss of sight and how it affected him specifically. He talks about differences in attitudes to mobility and navigating streets between people who have been born blind and those who lost their sight later in life, difficulties in being seen by traffic at night, his dependence on sound and touch to orientate himself and his consciousness of passing open spaces. He describes how he narrates journeys to himself, the timetable and location details he programmes and the kind of memory he has of places he has visited before and people he meets (tracks 1-6).
