The tactile map of Merton was commissioned in early 2020 by the London Borough of Merton as part of the Common Sense project.

The aim of the project was to make a mobile and tactile wayfinding experience that engaged adults with visual impairment, hearing loss and autism with Merton Heritage Centre.

The painted etched zinc map is mounted on an oak plinth. The addition of simple hand-holds enables the map to be easily moved to outreach locations.
