This is one of Brighton’s oldest inns. It is believed that originally it had been a farm-house, at the northern limit of Brighton, but it was known as “The King and Queen” as early as 1719. At this period Marlborough Place was known as North Row. For a long time the Brighton Corn Market was held here, until removed about 1870 to the Corn Exchange. The façade shown here, is not the original one. When the hotel was rebuilt in 1931 some of the old houses seen on the right of the photograph were removed and the vacant space added to the hotel premises.
