In 1656 Jews had again been allowed to settle in England. The first of them, Sephardic Marrans from the Netherlands, settled on the eastern edge of the city area, and there they established their first cemetery in Mile End, the 'Betahayim Velho', already in the following year, 1657. It was only about 0.6 hectares in size, and in view of the steadily growing congregation, it was foreseeable that its capacity would be exhausted in the not distant future.

Against the former location of the synagogue, there has been a memorial stone since 1964, which commemorates the expelled Jewish community. It is accompanied by a plaque that gives explanations about the historical background. Behind this memorial are wall remains of the „Hexen-“ or „Diebsturm“, part of the medieval fortifications of the old town of Hanau. In 1605–1608, this tower housed the first temporary synagogue of the community.
