It is identified as such on a 1920′s map.<br />Thank you again for taking time to reply.Liverpool Historyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04212158532627440895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-765412516500773857.post-80363013546369439852011-08-02T06:17:44.566+01:002011-08-02T06:17:44.566+01:00Looking at this picture I got my old days memories...Looking at this picture I got my old days memories refreshed.

Thank you for speedy reply and include ...Dear Rob,<br /><br />Thank you for speedy reply and include information, however, the information is similar to that which I had already gathered and was part of the reasoning behind my enquiry about the actual location of the synagogue.<br />What puzzles me is, the attached photo is cited as being the Shaw Street Synagogue, yet I have been unable to verify it's actual location in Shaw Street, pictorially or geographically. I need someone to identify it's position on Shaw Street.i.e : North or South End..... East or West side..<br /><br />Thanks again <br />grekkoLiverpool Historyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04212158532627440895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-765412516500773857.post-58726615154956682672011-07-19T17:28:21.846+01:002011-07-19T17:28:21.846+01:00Hi Rob,

It was purchased in 1907 and converted into a Synagogue and used as such until WW2. I think the building was then destroyed during the blitz.<br /><br />According to a footnote in Benas's 'Later Records of the Jews in Liverpool' an architectural description of the premises is to be found in Picton's 'Memorials'.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Arnold LewisLiverpool Historyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04212158532627440895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-765412516500773857.post-32191060454134291582011-07-19T12:35:36.350+01:002011-07-19T12:35:36.350+01:00Dear Grekko,
