Introduction to the Whitefield Eruv
What is an Eruv?
According to Jewish Law, Jews are not allowed to carry on the
Sabbath (Saturday) unless they are in a city which is ringed by a
clearly defined city wall (e.g, Jerusalem, York, Chester etc).
Where there is the absence of a city wall, Jews may only carry
if there is a symbolic private domain around them – an Eruv.
What does the Eruv enable Jews to carry or do?
1.
Push senior citizens or disabled people in wheelchairs to
Synagogue.
2.
Push prams and buggies with young children to Synagogue.
3.
Carry medicines and other essential objects to Synagogue.
What does the Eruv look like?
The Eruv is generally a mainly invisible and inconspicuous
device which uses a combination of natural geographic features
(such as railway lines) or man made structures (such as walls
and lampposts) to create a boundary or perimeter around a
defined area. Where there are no existing useable boundaries,
gaps can be filled in by inconspicuous wires or poles, or other
appropriate structures.
Where is the Whitefield Eruv?
The Whitefield Eruv covers a small area no greater than 2 square kilometres on
the Southern edge of Bury, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom.
Will the Whitefield Eruv require remedial work?
The area identified by Whitefield Hebrew Congregation for its
proposed Eruv is only a very small area, not much greater than
2 square kilometres, but it benefits from a large number of
natural boundaries such as the Metro railway line on the East
perimeter and the M60 Motorway on the Southern perimeter
which are intact and can be used without problem. The main
element of remedial work will be to build a small number of
inconspicuous poles and wires to fill in the boundary.
What is the purpose of the document?
This document defines the boundary and perimeter of the
Whitefield Eruv, and identifies the remedial works required to
make the boundary intact and continuous without interruption.
The document also incorporates sympathetic architectural and
structural proposals to those remedial works.
What are the approximate limits of the Whitefield Eruv?
It extends North to South from the Polyflor plc factory at Leicester Road, running
Southbound along the Metro railway line as far as the M60 Motorway as the
Southern boundary.
It extends West to East from Old Hall Lane on the Western Boundary to Besses o’
th’ Barns Metro station to the East.

This view is looking Eastwards
from Dales Lane Metro Bridge, as
the Eruv now continues Eastwards
along the metro track towards
Whitefield Station.
8
Where the Eruv boundary meets
the Metro Rail tunnel beneath
Bank Street, the area above the
tunnel is a wire mesh fence to
prevent any access to rail tracks
and tunnel below.
8
Eruv boundary continues
westbound along Back-Church
Street via the wire mesh fence,
until it meets tall wooden
fence, towards the cul-de-sac.
8
At the cul-de-sac, there are
heavy duty access gates locked;
the Eruv boundary heads back
along the other side of BackChurch Street using the walls
and sides of houses.

The Eruv boundary has to traverse

The existing lamppost at this point is

There is a wooden fence which runs from the footbridge almost up to the

acceptable for use as an “eruv” boundary. This has been discussed with the
Highways agency and the suggestion has been made of stapling a mesh fence
to the current posts(see above).
