An Art Deco styled synagogue was built in the 1930's to a radical new design. This place for Jewish worship has a stunning huge space and plenty of items left behind.
Built in the 1930’s The Ark is not a traditional synagogue, but is certainly in keeping with the Art Deco style of the era. The building incorporated a number of architectural advancements to successfully create a modernised synagogue experience. The amazing space is inviting and has an intimate feel despite being huge – there was seating for around 700 people. The light flooding in from the windows around the top creates a light and airy feel.

Some top shots there pal! Covered the place good! Man we had some ace light that day
Thank you for documenting this
Here’s hoping that this wonderful old synagogue can find a new use and be restored. Indeed an architectural landmark!
Apparently the go-ahead has been given for conversion to appartments and more to be built in the grounds. Work is due to start next year. I hope it all works out for such a magnificent building.
Groundbreaking! Loved these photos and so important to keep these historical buildings in the public’s view and mind.
Thank you. I try to present an accurate record of the buildings for that very reason.
