Custodial history:
The Chevra Walkawishk was founded by Lithuanians in 1871 from the neighbourhood of Walkawishk. In 1894 it translated to a rented chapel at corner of Park Street / Cheetham Hill Road and became the Central Synagogue. It moved to Heywood Street in 1928.
The North Manchester Synagogue was founded in 1892 as the Brodyer Synagogue on Bury New Road. In 1956 it moved to a converted Methodist Chapel on Leicester Road. It was later joined by Hightown's Beth Jacob Synagogue and in 1978 by the Central Synagogue to become Central and North Manchester Synagogue. In 2008 the syangogue became part of Stenecourt Synagogue (Manchester Great, New and Central Synagogue).
