Built in the early 1950's, this synagogue at the junction of Mather Avenue with Booker Avenue, Allerton was demolished in the summer of 2006 to avoid a spiralling repairs bill. Trustees struck a £3m deal with a housing company to replace the building with a smaller, modern one and also build a sheltered housing complex for elderly Jews on part of the site allowing ageing local residents to stay in the area near to their families and community.
