Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The first synagogue was established in the Harrow area in 1918 and became a district member of the United Synagogue in 1933. The Harrow and Kenton Synagogue was registered in Sheepcote Road in 1935. In 1946, the synagogue purchased 3, Vaughan Road, Harrow. At the same time, a second congregation was formed which established a synagogue in Kenton Park Avenue in 1948, and was affiliated to the United Synagogue in 1949.
