Manchester Jewish Museum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manchester Jewish Museum tells the story of the Jewish community in Manchester, England over the last 200 years. It occupies the former Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue on Cheetham Hill Road ans is a grade II* listed building [1]

The Synagogue was completed in 1874 but later the building became redundant through the migration of the Jewish population away from the Cheetham area further North to Prestwich and Whitefield. It was re-opened as a museum in March 1984.
