The building at 20–22 Marlborough Place in the seaside resort of Brighton, part of the city of Brighton and Hove, is a 1930s office building originally erected for the Citizens' Permanent Building Society. The "elegant" Neo-Georgian premises[1] were later occupied by a branch of the Allied Irish Bank, which opened in the 1980s;[2] and in 2022 it was announced that the premises would be converted into a restaurant.[3] Designed by John Leopold Denman, "master of this sort of mid-century Neo-Georgian",[4] the three-storey offices contrast strikingly with their contemporary neighbour, the elaborate King and Queen pub. The building features a series of carved reliefs by Joseph Cribb depicting workers in the building trade—including one showing Denman himself. It is a Grade II Listed building.
