Caroline France attended the Wavertree branch of the Royal School for the Blind, Liverpool from aged 13 and aged 16, in 1921, she transferred to the Hardman Street branch. Her application form states she became blind aged 13.

The Museum of Liverpool collections has items that belonged to Caroline, or Carol as she preferred to be called, including some items she made while at the school. Some of her friends shared memories of her and her friend Harry shared the following ‘She always went in to church early to ‘bully the organist’ she said! But really it was to let me carry her heavy 12 volume Braille hymn book. Once I fell over the kneeler and Carol roared ‘you should have let me guide you in’!’
