26. Shah Jahan Mosque

Woking, Surrey view map

Recently Given 'Grade I' status as a listed building, and the only structure with such status in Woking is the Shah Jahan Mosque, built in 1889.

Ironically, it was conceived by the son of a Hungarian Jew and was the first purpose built mosque in Britain.

I am surprised by its age. Good that it's been given Grade I. Thanks for showing it to us.
