A House Through Time - Newcastle

[Pheno]

Have tried googling but was No 5 just at the end of a terrace - it looks as if it is joined to some sort of renovated industrial building rather than similar houses.

On one of the maps which appeared too quickly, I thought I saw the word ‘synagogue’ on the adjoining site.

It looks as though Ravensworth  Terrace Synagogue used to be joined on, but according to Me Google it closed in 1969

Thoroughly enjoyable programme.

We did wonder about the property next door, which was quickly spotted by Ainslie.

It looks like it may have been renovated about 1924 when it opened as a synagoue., as they were built as a terrace.

Hi all

Some of you might be interested in this blog by Northumberland Archives which tells the story of Nos 6-8 Ravensworth Terrace:

Looking at the continuation of the terrace beyond, the thing in the middle looks to have been remodelled/clad or generally messed about with at some point. You would expect that it would have originally looked like the rest of the terrace.

What a pity the earliest ownership, the Lewis Carol link, the use of the adjacent properties, etc was not followed up! All at least as interesting as the stuff that "made the cut".
We wondered if the slug illustrations had been done by the chap himself, or his spinster sister?

I enjoy this programme too, hope they do more.
