Bancroft Road Cemetery - the Maiden Lane Synagogue Cemetery, Bancroft Road,  London E1 (disused):

The Maiden Lane Synagogue was a dissident offspring of the Western Synagogue formed in the early nineteenth century and closing in 1907.

The cemetery had been inactive for many years and is now derelict. All records were destroyed in the 1941 London air raids by Nazi Germany. According to Charles Tucker, inspection a few years ago revealed only two complete headstones and two half stones. Tower Hamlets Family History Library has provided Dr. Cyril Fox with the list of inscriptions made by a former Chief Librarian, Henry Wootton, in 1987, which he has reproduced in Shemot (Journal of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Great Britain - JGSGB) Volume 8, No. 2.
