Stockton Jewish Cemetery, Yorkshire, 1. England, UK
Notes: Stockton Jewish Cemetery: Stockton-on-Tees is an ancient Borough with a Charter dating back to the 14th Century. During local government reorganisations in the 1980's and 1990's the old Borough became, first, part of the County Borough of Teesside, which in turn became the County of Cleveland; Stockton was one of the four constituent boroughs. Eventually the County of Cleveland itself ceased to exist and Stockton is now once again an Independent Authority.
The Stockton Hebrew Congregation dates back to the mid-1880's. Services were originally held in a room above premises in Skinner Street. Subsequently a purpose-built Synagogue was erected in Hartington Road, and this remained in use until the mid-1970's, when the Congregation was amalgamated with the Middlesbrough Hebrew Congregation. There were probably never more than 40 families in the Stockton Hebrew Congregation.
