A Jewish congregation was established in 1922 and in 1937 they acquired a house at No. 2. This was either demolished or remodelled into the synagogue of 1938 by Cyril Gillis of Sunderland. It was extended in 1966 by C. Soloman. It closed in 1992 and some of the appurtenances were donated to the Jewish community of Tegucigalpa in Honduras. The synagogue still stands as a pebble-dashed building at the end of a terrace with Park Avenue. It has coloured glass windows with round heads. Whitley Bay was once a popular holiday destination for the Jewish families of the north-east.

Harton Cemetery (HER 5233) opened in 1891. A Jewish section was consecrated in Feb 1899. Up until then burials had taken place at the Jewish cemetery at North Shields (HER 2000). The first burial in the Jewish plot at Harton was on 18 May 1899 according to the burial registers. The earliest tombstone dates from 1900. The plot is enclosed by a stone wall.

A purpose-built synagogue on the site of a house at 14 Ogle Terrace. The plot had been bought in 1914 but the house was not cleared until 1932. The original architect for the synagogue was Marcus Kenneth Glass of Newcastle. When he died in 1932, J.A. Page & Son took over. The building is of plain red brick with the entrance under a gable at the western end. It closed in 1994 and was converted into the South Tyneside Arts Studio. The foundation stones of the synagogue are just legible. Much of the original decorative glass has been removed except for a sunburst Star of David window in the Ark wall. The Luhot (Tablets of the Law, double-headed stone bearing an abbreviated form of the Ten Commandments) remain on the gable. Inside the iron column supports with palmette capitals survive. Re-located here from Charlotte Street. South Shields Hebrew Congregation was founded before 1875. In 1895 it had 25 seat holders, whilst in 1900 there were 39 seat holders. The synagogue closed before 2000 when there were less than 12 Jewish families using it. The faint outline of the Star of David is still visible on the eastern upper gable end.

Shown on OS second edition map of 1896. Founded on 22 March 1876. A newspaper article described the opening of the synagogue on 22 March 1876. On the ground floor there was a school room and rooms for the caretaker. The synagogue was on the upper floor. Subscriptions were used to help pay for the build - £50 from the late Sir A Rothschild, £100 (the Jewish Chronicle says £20) from Messrs. A.M Rothschild and sons. Sir Moses Montefiore donated £5. Lady Rothschild presented an embroidered silk velvet mantel for the Scripture scrolls. Brethren from both North and South Shields used the synagogue. The building was said to have cost £700 to £800. The site was provided by the Duke of Northumberland in 1873. The previous synagogue was at 57 Church Road which opened in the 1840s. There were 14 seatholders in 1856 and 18 in 1900. The Linskill Street synagogue closed in 1965. Possibly the first synagogue in the north east. Stone walls possibly relating to the synagogue were located in 2010 during an archaeological evaluation.

Preston Cemetery opened in 1856 as Tynemouth Cemetery. The earliest Jewish gravestone is in the north-west section in the first row closest to the wall. The Hebrew text says 'Sarah Isaacs, aged 26, buried 6 July 1856'. The associated synagogue was at 20 Linskill Street, North Shields from 1870. There is a separate modern (1977) Reform cemetery at the other end of Preston Cemetery with an ohel (prayer hall at burial ground, especially a small walk-in memorial to a deceased Hasidic rabbi). The prayer house with tahara room was built in 1988.

The eighteenth century synagogue was in Villiers (exact location not known) and the associated burial ground was at Ayres Quay (HER 5965). The synagogue went of use when a new one was built on Ryhope Road (HER 7187). Sunderland was the oldest Jewish community in the north-east. The community lived in Frederick and Norfolk Streets. Sunderland became home to 'landsleit' who came here from the Lithuanian town of Krottingen where there was a fire in 1889.
It is rumoured that when the synagogue in Villiers Street was demolished the inscribed stones from the frontage of the building were moved to the grounds of Ryhope Road Synagogue and subsequently lost, presumed buried there somewhere.

This was built next to the Synagogue (HER 7187) in 1936. It is similar in style and was designed by Cyril Gillis of S.J. Stephenson & Gillis of Newcastle.
