Sassoon Mausoleum

The single-storey building, which is Grade II listed,[1] has since served as a furniture depository and an air-raid shelter, and since being purchased by a brewery in 1949 has remained a pub or bar.

Albert Abdullah David Sassoon was born in Baghdad in 1818 to a prominent, Sephardic Jewish family.

After many years spent managing the family's banking and merchant shipping business in Bombay, India, he retired to England where he was created a baronet.

In 1933 the remains of the Sassoon family were removed and reburied at the Liberal Jewish Cemetery, Willesden in London[why?].

The new decor was intended to evoke the supper clubs of the 1920s and 1930s, and the venue featured live performances of contemporary music.
