This building is on the corner of Southall Street and Carnarvon Street, near Strangeways Prison. Back in the 1930s it was built by the Jewish community as a soup kitchen for the poor in the area (regardless of their faith). More recently it has been a costume jewellery warehouse, and currently it is the home of Asian Sound Radio. The date above the door is shown in conventional form, and according to the Hebrew calendar.
