CLIFTONVILLE VOICES
JEWISH HOTELS
"We moved there just after the war;
I was nine years old.
My mother
who was a very astute business woman,
opened a boarding house."




"Cliftonville had a big synagogue,
there was a thriving community"
"There were about half a dozen
Jewish hotels in the area,
in Westgate and in Cliftonville."


"We were living in Norfolk Road,
so you just crossed the road,
and behind they were all there."



"There was the
Carmel, Majestic,
and
Highcliffe Hall...
Clarence Hotel."
"The Majestic was the Schwartzman’s."


"Northumberland Hotel was the only fully kosher hotel in Cliftonville."
"I remember loads of Jewish parties. I don’t think it was just for Purim."



"[Hotel Majestic]
You can clearly see the
Star of David
above the front window."
