House at the bottom of Vine Street. Formerly the residence of John Lilburn. The house became a synagogue in 1781, probably by 'Chassidic' immigrants from Poland and Bohemia who had split from the main Sunderland congregation. Ashkenazi Orthodox. By 1850 membership had dropped. Only 34 of it's 74 seats were let and only 12 people attended Sabbath services. The synagogue closed by 1861. The two torah scrolls were sold to the Sunderland Hebrew Congregation for £7 7s 3d.

In 2010, North Pennines Archaeology excavated and recorded the crypt prior to demolition. The burial vaults were used from 1826 to 1854. The chapel was no longer used by 1933 and was demolished in 1978-9. The demolition of the crypt was monitored in a watching-brief. The post-excavation assessment provides a description of the 13 crypt vaults and structural remains of the later Sunday school and infant school in addition to a report on the crypt excavation. In total 329 coffins were recorded, 364 individuals were excavated and coffin wood, metal coffin furniture and plates were recovered.
