Greenbank Synagogue - 2017

History and Plans


- From various sources.

Built in 1936 by architect Sir Ernest Alfred Shennan, the synagogue was used by its congregation right up until it was shut down back in 2007. Officials say the closure was largely due to the fall in the Jewish population from around 11,000 to just 3,000 over the last century, making the synagogues existence an expensive an unnecessary once.

Plans have surfaced to knock down the Community Hall Outbuilding and build a block of flats as well as transform the synagogue itself into rooms that are said to retain the ‘architectural beauty’ of the Grade II listed building that stands as of 2017.

For the first part of the day in liverpewwwl we spent our time having a go at getting into Newsham park, we knew access was tricky but it seems some have succeeded, so it was worth the look and once over. it may have been possible if a back route was taken, but we couldn’t be bothered at this point.

Having left we wasted all our energy walking to Greenbank, which was thankfully wide open (as it usually seems to be) so the walk was worth it. The synagogue is in many ways, one of the more beautiful places I have ever visited. Its art deco outer shell holds some stunning interior, with plenty of furnishings commonplace for a religious site (pews etc.) What made it better was the fact that rot really hasn’t set in on fully destroying it all yet, so there’s plenty of time to enjoy its state as is now for those who have yet to go. What really got us was the fact that the main room caught us off guard, as we didn’t look at other reports on purpose, just so we could find out for ourselves what was inside, and it is certainly worth the time spent there. Some kids wandered up beside us to get in, and it really triggered me that after saying hello, all I got was a smurk. rude shits.

nice to see an update on this place.
When we went to have a look a year ago, the landowner turned up, which made it a No-Go
