Market Inn, Brighton

Built as a pair of four storey brick built terraced houses in the early 19th century, it was converted into a hotel and then into a public house in the 20th century. Situated just into one of the entrances to The Lanes, it has glazed brick on the ground floor. Wilst the interior was refitted in the inter-war period and retains a panelled island bar counter, the rest of the fittings are 'faux' according the the landlord of some 30 years. This includes the panelling around the walls and the top sections containing mirrors and other decoration. In the dado panelling are small 1930s brick (painted red) and wood surround fireplaces (disused) on the rear left and front right areas.

The skylight at the rear left has some colourful stained and leaded panels as does the door to the ladies. The screen / baffle by the front door and another two short pieces attached to the wall on the left are 'salvage' pub doors (locks and handles still in place!) for effect only. There is the odd bell push in the panelling. The island bar back looks wholly modern and fridges have replaced the lower shelving and the pot shelf is a much later addition. The cornice around the room looks to be from a date earlier than the refitting. The gents retains its 1930s Oates & Green three-bay urinal.
