greenbank synagogue

History: After World War 1, the number of Jewish people living in Liverpool’s city centre was on the decline, with families moving out into Liverpool’s suburbs. In 1928, plans were drawn up for a new, larger, synagogue, to accommodate the growing number of Jews in the Sefton Park area. Nine...

The History - Greenbank Synagogue was designed by Sir Ernest Alfred Shennan in an art deco and Swedish romantic style in the 1930's. The synagogue was built in the Sefton Park area as the Jewish community moved out towards the wealthier suburbs after world war 1. During world war 2 the synagogue...

Greenbank Synagogue Liverpool It was a nice sunny day and I had 3 sites on my radar, Plan 2 is being demolished so that went out this window and it was getting too late to go to the 3rd. But my 1st choice was this place, and I got lucky! And also reminded myself again about losing weight...

June 2025 Visited this one with @Mr Budge — surprisingly, I’ve never had much success with it, despite trying countless times over the past 10 years. Until now, the best I’d managed was the adjoining community centre/room with @coolboyslim back in 2017, which has long since been demolished. (If...

Explore - After our first attempt being a complete fail I was pleased to hear from a friend it was now accessible. One of the city’s classics. There are signs of building work taking place with items/tools left dotted around, with the lights still working in some rooms. The cameras around the...

Introduction This was one of many places me and Jake wanted to do on our recent trip to Merseyside. It’s been posted numerous times in the past including by Jake a few months back, but I thought I’d post my stance on it aswell as I really liked the place. Reports on here date back to almost a...

Greenbank Synagogue This place has been very well covered in the past, with plenty of reports on here but thought I'd chuck mine up on here because why not! Visited with @dansgas1000 as usual... I won't go too much into detail, as I say this place has been very well reported in the past...

This is another classic that's been on my list for a good few years now, after a tip-off from a friend that it's open we promptly planned a visit. Upon arrival, we noticed a guy living in a shipping container, charging people a fiver to get in. We have him 65p he called us "cheeky cunts" and...

I first tried Greenbank a long time ago - a very long time ago. 2014 I think, potentially. Not long after it first appeared on the scene anyway. Arrived nice and early, parked up, walked down the road towards the gate and just as we have the gate in our line of sight a scaffolding truck pulls...

Walking in the footsteps of many to this behemoth of a place The foundation stone for Greenbank Drive Synagogue was laid on 14 June 1936 by Baron Tobias Globe attended by the Chief Rabbi of the British Empire, Dr J H Hertz. The building was consecrated on August 15 1937 and opened by Professor...

We were in the area weighing up a few things so had a quick visit to here a few weeks ago Visited with @Donny. and a non member. As you can see its trashed. Some bloke woke up in the caravan and told us to fuck off whilst we were on our way out. Due to the Liverpool Echo’s campaign of ‘Stop...
