Wilson Road Synagogue, Neoclassical synagogue in Ecclesall, Sheffield, England
The Wilson Road Synagogue features a prominent brick facade with faience dressings, a Doric order portico, and a granite ark within its main hall.
The building, completed in 1930 under architect Mansell Jenkinson's design, served as a central Jewish place of worship until its closure in 1997.
The synagogue represents the evolution of Sheffield's Jewish community, which began in the 1780s and maintained Orthodox Ashkenazi traditions until the late 20th century.
The synagogue structure, measuring 970 seats in capacity, includes a choir gallery, hardwood pews, and received Grade II listed status in February 1992.
During World War II, the synagogue became a refuge for congregants from the destroyed city center synagogue, leading to increased attendance at services.
