Could someone look at the 1881 census please, for Richard Underwood born 1828 Shropshire, living in Stone Row, Dawley Shropshire.
The last column states Blind, but I cannot read the following word(s).
Any help to decipher this would be much apprecited.

Thanks Choccy. He was ok on 1871 census and I suspect it was an
accident at work, so that would tie in well
Thank you
