The Foundation Stone was laid by Mr Max Goodman on 24th November 1946.

In 1953 the Schul was relocated into the Lower Ground level and the original Schul became a hall.

Archive photographs on the right are copied from a framed collection of photographs - displayed in a meeting room at Lower Ground - which records the construction process and is titled:

COMMUNAL HALL
INSPIRATION + FULFILMENT
24th November 1946
