Brighton Town Hall (1832) by Thomas Cooper

It was built from 1830 to 1832 at the insistence of Thomas Read Kemp and replaced a previous town hall, which contained prison cells, which the new building also had.[1][2]

The register office is also located in the building.[3]

Old Police Cells Museum

The prison cells remained in use until 1967 and can now be visited as part of the Old Police Cells Museum.[1] The museum's exhibits focus on the history of Sussex Police and include police uniforms and equipment, a 1950s detective's office, and male and female prison cells.

Access is only by pre-booked guided tours at 10.30 am when the museum is open.
