Located at 66 Middle Street in central Brighton, the Middle Street Synagogue is a Byzantine Revival structure completed in 1875 by architect Thomas Lainson. Built to serve the Brighton Hebrew Congregation—established around the 1820s and later known as the Brighton & Hove Hebrew Congregation—the synagogue became the primary center for Jewish worship in the area for over a century, accommodating worshippers of the Ashkenazi rite. Though the West Hove Synagogue assumed the role of principal synagogue in the early 1960s, the Middle Street building remains an important cultural landmark, hosting weddings and events while retaining its Grade II* listed status since 1971.
