The building was opened in 1937 on the site of a former slum clearance to replace an older building next to the town hall. It was joined by the fish market in 1960 after that was moved from Kings Road Arches. The building closed in 2005 and the whole site is now currently awaiting redevelopment. The building at the end of the street is the University of Brighton's art department.
