How easy or difficult was it to be a deaf or disabled person at different points in history – and have some choices about work, education or where and how you lived? Much of the story of the eight History of Place locations has been about disabled people campaigning to get the same options as the rest of society. By the magic of our not-enormously-scientific quiz, we bring you the chance to choose where you would like to live in that history.

If the answer you get isn’t ideal, we still hope it will help you imagine the sort of society you would like to see in the future.
