These photographs of the Cathedral Road Synagogue, opened in 1897, show details of the apse and the bimah, which is the raised platform, from which the Torah is read and services led, the Ark, and the pulpit. Unusually, in Cathedral Road the bimah is at the east end of the building rather than in the middle.

These photographs are part of a collection taken by Alan Schwartz prior to the closure of the synagogue in 1989. They are reproduced with the permission of his brother Anthony Schwartz.

Depository: Glamorgan Archives; one photo is in Cardiff United Synagogue.
