Eastern side of the building which is the only part to retain its original single storey structure.

Purpose built as a market in 1828 by Wills and Busby for the new Brunswick development. The venture did not last long however and was soon being used as a school. It became a riding school in 1850 with the extra stories added in the late 19th century and remained so until after the First World War. It subsequently was used for smoking bacon and ham before becoming the home of a wholesale grocers until 1970. It remained derelict until 1976 when it became an arts centre who themselves folded in 1982 leaving the building derelict once more until 1999 when the building was renovated and reopened as another arts centre which it still is today.

The B2066 Western Road approaching the junction with Cambridge Road to the left and Brunswick Street East to the right. The bus coming the other way is a Number 25 bound for Palmeira Square. Brighton & Hove buses currently name their vehicles after famous but deceased local personalities. This one is Herbert Menges.

The Old Market, Hove is a venue for the arts, education and the community. The newly restored building was opened on the 19 May 1999 by the Duke of Kent, when he unveiled a commemorative plaque in the auditorium celebrating the end of three years of restoration. A Grade II listed building, The Old Market stands in a part of Hove known as Brunswick Town which is an area of outstanding architectural heritage. Built in 1828 as a market, The Old Market was put to a number of uses before being derelict for some years. The restoration project began in 1995. http://www.theoldmarket.co.uk/about-us-01.php

Built in 1877 as an entrance to the Old Market building, which can be seen beyond, which by then was being used as a riding school. The arch fell until disrepair after the riding school closed after the First World War but was renovated in the 1980s.

Completed by 1839 the houses were built for tradesmen and artisans in service to those in Brunswick Square. Now they are sought after town houses or subdivided into flats. The south side of the Old Market is at the end of the street.

The building is early Victorian and has a history of being a hostelry, originally known as the Western Hotel the mosaic of which can be seen above the first floor window, it became O'Reilly's before changing to its current name. The pub and the estate agents next door are the only two buildings between Upper Market Street and Brundwick Street East.

Taken from the former boundary of Brighton and Hove looking into the latter.
