The road off Knight's Hill to the former Synagogue and Orphanage. Originally part of one of the oldest Jewish charitable institutions in England which was founded in 1806 by B & A Goldsmid in Mile End as a orphanage and hospital. It moved to Norwood in 1861 when Mr Barnet Meyers gave this nine and a half acre site to the charity. The orphanage continued until the children were evacuated during World War II. Photographed here on 15th January 2004. Digital image courtesy of Keith Holdaway, 2003.
