Burton-upon-Trent

The town of Burton-upon-Trent in the English Midlands, has a population of about 60,000.  It was a county borough from 1901 until 1974, when it merged with neighbouring localities to form the local government district (later borough) of East Staffordshire, within the county of Staffordshire.

Jewish Community

Although there was a small Jewish community in Burton-on-Trent in the early half of the twentieth centuries, there is no record of a synagogue being established. There was, however, a close relationship with the near-by community in Derby, whose minister acted a visiting teacher and shochet.
