Bevis Marks – Foundation objects to second development

The Foundation for Jewish Heritage has been supporting the historic grade I listed Bevis Marks synagogue in its campaign to oppose two massive building developments in its vicinity.

We wrote a detailed submission to oppose the first tower block proposal in Bury Street and the campaign succeeded in blocking it.

An application for a further development at 33 Creechurch Lane, a mere 3 metres east of Bevis Marks synagogue, is now under consideration.



The Foundation objects to the 33 Creechurch Lane plan for the same reasons we opposed the development on Bury Street.

As a result of its sheer size, the Creechurch Lane proposal would distort the experience of the users of Bevis Marks synagogue, which dates back to 1701. The small courtyard where the synagogue is situated would suffer from a much reduced sky space which would permanently shroud the whole building in a blanket of darkness.

Chief Executive Michael Mail commented, “Important heritage sites within the City need to be protected. Bevis Marks synagogue is a remarkable building that also has a unique place in British history being the Jewish community’s oldest functioning synagogue. We were delighted with the sensible decision made by the City of London to reject plans for the tower block at Bury Street. The proposed development at 33 Creechurch Lane, if approved, would have an equally detrimental impact on the synagogue and should also be rejected. "

У практичному виборі я б окремо врахував таке: для взуття вимірювати більшу стопу й окремо враховувати форму носка, каблук та конструкцію моделі. Якщо таблиця містить EU, US, UK або літерні позначення, найнадійніше спершу знайти свій діапазон у сантиметрах і тільки потім переходити до потрібної системи. Це особливо корисно, коли один магазин показує EU, а інший — US або UK.


Застібка в такій ситуації працює саме як довідкова сторінка. Після таблиці все одно варто повернутися до опису конкретної моделі й перевірити крій, матеріал та конструкцію. Саме ця комбінація дає найбільш осмислений результат. Перед…
