The foundation stone was laid on 14 March 1928 and the building opened on 9 December 1928. It cost £11,000. The inscribed stones from the front of the earlier synagogue in Villiers Street were brought here when it was demolished. The son and grandson of founder member Michael Cohen and Joseph Landau were photographed with the stones together with the contractor, the stones are inscribed 'Beth Hamedresh' and the year of building. The photo may have been in the Jewish Chronicle and/or the Sunderland Echo. The stones are now lost - they may be buried in the grounds of the synagogue and school. The Jewish community is keen to find them.

Pigeon cree C20. Weatherboarded with monopitch roof. At present painted red, black and white. Single storey. 5 windows with 3 doors in-between. Small extension to left. Above the central door is a small gable with a row of upstanding perches all along the front. Lynn Pearson - probably the most celebrated pigeon loft in Britain. Located on an allotment behind the Blue Bell Inn on Back Ryhope Street. The cree was built in 1955 by Maurice Surtees and his brother William, using timber taken from colliery cottages that were being demolished nearby. It is painted red, white and blue. The birds return through sliding doors. There are 'spikes' (like a picket fence) on the roof to deter birds from landing on the roof rather than heading straight inside. The cree was the first and thus far only cree to be listed in 1998. In December 2007 the allotment holders were offered compensation to move by a prospective developer who wished to build houses on the site. The allotment holders refused. The issue was debated in the House of Commons. The developer accepted defeat in 2008. Meercat Films made a film about it in 2008 called 'The Homing Instinct'.
