Brighton Forum, Grade II listed structure in Brighton and Hove, England.
Brighton Forum is a substantial Victorian building with distinct architectural features reflecting mid-19th century educational institution design. The structure now contains office spaces with multiple rooms for commercial and professional use.
The Habershon brothers built this structure in 1854 as a training facility for female educators during Britain's expansion of formal education. It became an important center for teacher training in the region following its completion.
The building represents an era when Britain invested in teacher training and marked a shift toward professional development in education. This reflects the Victorian belief that teaching required specialized institutions and formal preparation.
The building is located near Brighton's center and is easily accessible by public transport. Since it functions as an office building, visits should be arranged in advance and visitor access may be limited.
During World War II, the Royal Engineers used this building as a military facility before it was transformed into a commercial property. This military past shows how Victorian buildings were repurposed during wartime.
