Merthyr Synagogue
The former Merthyr Synagogue is located on Bryntirion Road in the Thomastown section of Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. It is a Grade II listed building〔 and thought to be the oldest purpose-built synagogue still standing in Wales.〔Glamorgan: (Mid Glamorgan, South Glamorgan and West Glamorgan), Stephen R. Hughes, Anthony Ward, Yale University Press, 1995, p. 438〕
==History==
The Jewish congregation of Merthyr was established in 1848 at a time when Merthyr Tydfil was a centre of the industrial revolution and the largest town in Wales. The new congregation called itself the "Merthyr Tydfil Hebrew Congregation", and erected its first synagogue in 1852–1855 in John Street. That first building was demolished in the 1990s.〔Kadish, Sharman (2006). Jewish Heritage in England : An Architectural Guide. English Heritage., p. 203〕
The 1855 building was replaced by the prosperous congregation with the surviving synagogue building in 1872–1875. The congregation had 27 head-of-household members in 1900.
The congregation, which had been dwindling, was rededicated in 1955. In the 1980s, the congregation was closed and the building was sold and became the Merthyr Christian Centre.〔Aftermath: remembering the Great War in Wales, Angela Gaffney, University of Wales Press, 1998, p. 129〕〔The chosen people: Wales & the Jews, Grahame Davies, Seren, 2002, p. 15〕 As of 2006 the former synagogue was in use as a gymnasium.〔 In 2008 there was a plan to convert the building into eight residential apartments whilst preserving the exterior of this "locally iconic" building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Projects Residential )〕
