Description
This building was added to the South Tyneside local list in 2023. The local list description reads:
'Based on this address first appearing in the Jewish Year Book 1952, the site was used as a Temple from around 1951 until the 1990s. A Hebrew Congregation was formed in South Shields as early as 1857, and would have used other sites for worship before this one including, reportedly, 14 Ogle Terrace and 38 Charlotte Street (Lewis Olsover, The Jewish Communities of North-East England, 1980). It is now used for businesses and office space.'
