Historic buildings - Birmingham





Yesterday was a little bit different, I shot the former central Birmingham synagogue which is now the home of Athol Masonic Lodge. One of the interesting features of the main lodge room is the organ which dates back to the time of the original synagogue, 200 years ago. This was supposedly played by Mendelssohn during his visits to Birmingham. A truly unique building which should be treasured as part of Birmingham's history.
