Nice find on a Sunday morning in Liverpool, braved it alone once again, was a straight forward explore, sorry for the distressed look on my face on the intro I just cut my back :( just in case you was wondering paul haha I https://www.youtube.com/user/007vauxhall didn't talk to much in the video as I was anxious that there may be people in here and it echoed a lot. Hope you`s enjoy, this is one of my best finds. The now abandoned building was constructed in 1936 and was used by an active congregation until 2007 when the synagogue finally closed its doors. Greenbank originally gained its listed status in 1983 however this was upgraded to Grade II* status shortly after its closure in 2008 and has been on the ‘at risk’ register since 2010. It is hoped the repairs will secure its long-term future and help find a new use for it however until then the building sits empty in a derelict state. Designed by architect Alfred Ernest Shennan and consecrated on August 15,1937, this synagogue became a refuge for homeless families in the Blitz. The art deco design directly reflects Swedish architectural influences, both in the exterior of the building, which is clearly inspired by the late fruition of the Swedish national romantic style, and in its interior, which draws on contemporary Swedish functionalism. In consequence, Greenbank stands alone as a synagogue which is really significant in terms of the progressive architecture of its time. Although clearly not ‘international modern’, it was a genuine attempt at a new architecture appropriate for a modern synagogue, and succeeds in these terms. Greenbank Drive Synagogue is architecturally by far the most important and innovatory 20th-century synagogue in England and is the finest surviving synagogue in Europe dating from the inter-war period. It also has important socio-historic significance as representing a last late optimistic cultural expression of European Jewry before the holocaust.

5. When a guy explores a haunted building alone day or night,people always say things like "dude you must have some pretty big balls to do that all by yourself".So if a girl explores a building alone with the same creep factor,would it be ok to say "Damn girl you got some pretty big lips to explore all by yourself"????
