9 Pool Valley, Brighton, Grade II* listed building in Brighton, England.
Description
The building at Pool Valley is a late 18th-century commercial house covered entirely with black mathematical tiles that resemble brickwork. It contains two residential floors positioned above ground-level commercial space designed for business use.
History
The house was originally built in the late 18th century as a bakery with residential space above. It received its Grade II* listed status in October 1952.
Culture
The building shows typical features of commercial architecture from the 18th century, with shops below and living quarters above. This mixed-use arrangement was common when business owners and their families lived and worked under one roof.
Practical
The building sits at the corner of Pool Valley right beside the seafront, making it easy to find and reach from the beach. Its central location means visitors can explore the surrounding area on foot.
Did you know?
The black mathematical tiles on the facade are a practical illusion that mimics real bricks without requiring their full durability. This technique protected the building from harsh coastal conditions while being an economical solution in the 18th century.
