La obra arquitectónica | "Princes Road Synagogue" |Toxteth, Liverpool | William James Audsley y George Ashdown Audsley | Fundada a finales década 1860 y se consagró el 2 de septiembre de 1874 | La sinagoga es el hogar de la antigua congregación #hebrea de Liverpool. Es ampliamente considerada como el mejor ejemplo del estilo de arquitectura sinagoga del renacimiento arabe en Gran Bretaña. Las sinagogas que emulan su diseño se encuentran tan lejos como Sydney . La #sinagoga es de construcción de ladrillos, con #ladrillos de #terracota brillantes que se utilizan ampliamente para la decoración.

La fachada revela el plano del edificio, una #basílica con nave y pasillos. La sección central sobresale de los pasillos. Tiene un gran portal "morisco" dividido por una columna central, sobre la cual hay una gran ventana con ruedas de estilo románico ambas profundamente hundidas en arcos. La sinagoga tiene una nave central con pasillos a cada lado, separados por una arcada en columnas delgadas octogonales, que también soportan galerías en los pasillos. La nave tiene una bóveda de cañón iluminada por ventanas de vidrio.

La decoración interior es notable por su espléndida decoración, que incluye el dorado y el uso ilimitado de las mejores #maderas y #mármoles . Fotografía de Michael d Beck with

In his words: “No one can be more impressed with the manifold shortcomings of the present Work than I am; for it is not too much to say that had its entire series of Plates and every page of its Text been devoted to the treatment of any one of the more important Sections it embraces, much would remain, even in that Single art, unillustrated and unexplained. Such being the case, I trust to the indulgence of my readers and the consideration of my critics when they turn over the following leaves.”
