| AdminHistory | The Jews' and General Literary and Scientific Institution (also known as Sussex Hall) was founded in 1845, on a site vacated by the New Synagogue; intended for Jews, it also welcomed non-Jews seeking knowledge and self-improvement; held Friday evening lectures on a diverse range of topics; closed 1859, probably due to demographic changes among its clientele. |
