Nelson Street Synagogue, Membership List, London 1930.

NelsonSt01The Nelson Street Synagogue was probably founded about 1913, and was closed by 1932.  This list of members, with eleven pages, seems to be a healthy number in 1930.  The reason for closing the synagogue in 1932 in unknown.  It was an affiliate of the Federation of Synagogues.

The list, compiled by the Synagogue Secretary, Lew Rosenstein, is handwritten on printed headed paper, and includes the member’s age and address.

The Synagogue, at 64 Nelson Street, is listed in my 1927 Post Office Directory of London.
