Small meetings were held at a private
house in Tottenham Hale until brewers' premises at
no. 366 High Road, near the corner of Somerset
Road, were occupied by Tottenham Hebrew congregation in 1904. (fn. 21) Members of the synagogue came to
be affiliated to the Federation of Synagogues. (fn. 22) The
building could seat 300 in 1972, when there was a
separate hall for religious instruction. (fn. 23)
Jews in south Tottenham worshipped in private
homes and occasionally at Craven Park Road school
from 1934 until the opening of a brick building
behind no. 111 Crowland Road in 1938. Classrooms
were added in 1954 and a communal hall was built
in 1961. There was seating for 440 at South Tottenham District synagogue, a member of the United
Synagogue, (fn. 24) in 1972. (fn. 25)
Edmonton and Tottenham Hebrew congregation
arose from meetings which were held at no. 53
Lansdowne Road several years before the ground
floor of a Victorian house, no. 41 Lansdowne Road,
was converted for worship in 1934. The synagogue,
whose members came to be affiliated to the United
Synagogue four years later, was enlarged in 1956, to
bring the seating to about 200, and an adjoining hall
and annexe were built in 1964. (fn. 26)
