Your best set yet. Need I say more! Awesome shots here mate, some ace angles and nice depth of field usage too. Processing is spot on. Love the whole lot.
Heartbreaking photos.Greenbank is where I grew up —-it was my parents zl shul….where I went to Cheder…….where my mother AH was Chairman of the Ladies Guild,where my Uncle zl and my brother in law zl were Senior Wardens………where my children grew up where my sons were Barmitzvah and my daughter Batmitzvah…………where my niece’s husband was Chazan………………..so very sad that such a beautiful building has been left to go to rack and ruin.
I have so many memories of Greenbank too but I found these photographs heartbreaking. Adding to the sadness I then saw my Grandfather’s death certificate up for all to see… that was just too much for me, way too personal for something like this and rather thoughtless to photograph. Very distressing for so many reasons….
Oh I forgot to say well done pro jectmayhem et all for highlighting this situation and some great photography ás well. Great use of lighting, very atmospheric, thanks
These photos are fantastic historical documents but they break my heart. Can I do anything to preserve the building/artefacts etc?
I know this is a very old comment section, so forgive me for reviving it.
The congregation merged with the “Liverpool Old Hebrew Congregation” located at Princes Road in Toxteth (L8 area) http://www.princesroad.org/.
I attended Saturday morning music school in Butler Street in the 1990’s (around ’94-’96) and I used to pass by this synagogue when I got off the bus to walk to the primary school we rehearsed in. I was always fascinated by scores and scores of people in their prayer shawls and all entering. To me it looked likethe gates of heaven itself, and everyone seemed so much more at peace than they ever did at church on a Sunday. I do not recall the Rabbi’s name, but he always intrigued me, and after a few weeks, we even took to greeting each other as he always seemed to be getting out of his car, as I was struggling off the bus, euphonium case in one hand and a folder of sheet music in the other!
I have often wondered how it would look inside, and to see it now in all its beautiful decay (I can think of no other way to describe it) really is heartbreaking, both for the members of the congregation who had to settle into a new congregation, and for my city, as another little piece of its history fades away.
Thank you, Proj3ctM4yh3m, for sharing these photographs, and helping to preserve history in your own way, through your own G-d given talents.
