Fieldgate Street Great Synagogue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fieldgate Street Great Synagogue, located at 41 Fieldgate Street in the East End of London, was established in 1899. In 1950 it was rebuilt after damaged caused by a German air raid during WWII. It is currently surrounded on three sides by the East London Mosque. The synagogue, one of the last functioning in the area, is due to close in late 2007 due to dwindling membership. There are plans to turn the synagogue into a Jewish museum of Jewish life in the East End.
