Land by the synagogue

edit

One web site refers to a "strip of land to the west of the synagogue". It's not quite clear from a site visit to what this refers. Does anyone know for certain? My only guess is the passage way leading to the graveyard to the rear of the synagogue, but that is part of the synagogue site. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 12:16, 16 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

After further inspection this strip can only be the access to the graveyard. It is not accurately aligned with Ship Lane, and the surface is not that old. Furthermore, at the time that the hospital was a leper hospital it was on the old site, adjacent to the church, not the new site behind the synagogue. I'm fairly sure that this is therefore legend and am removing from the main page unless anyone can provide a decent citation. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 16:38, 10 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
