A glance along Highfield Street towards Sparkenhoe Street reveals a former Jewish School (c. 1902) associated with the former Orthodox Synagogue to the right of the Holly tree. The school premises, the synagogue and an associated community centre (obliquely opposite) are currently "For Sale" due to a drastic reduction in the size of its congregation. London Road (i.e. A6) lies behind the photographer.
