"The Leicester Mercury" newspaper reported this synagogue as being "For Sale" in October 2011 and the advertising hoarding has now disappeared. This building was completed in 1898 and in 1950, as a result of the war-time expansion of its congregation, a community centre was built opposite it in Tichborne Street. This was the sole orthodox Jewish synagogue in Leicestershire. It seems that the community members are hoping that the sale of the synagogue and the community centre will provide sufficient funds for the purchase of alternative premises in Oadby. London Road (i.e. the A6) is situated behind the photographer.
