BITS AND BARS ............................... PUB: MARKET INN The serving space of the Market Inn, an island bar constructed, I’m told, as part of a refurbishment in 1927, is magnificent, dominating the space it sits in the middle of. It’s all classical wooden pillars and panelling, and period lampshades, and it’s a beaut. Unfortunately, the beer tap that I want the young barman who’s standing within it to pull has a plastic cup on it. The Moretti’s off, so I go for a bitter instead, a Cornish brew called Tribute. “That’s in the Happy Hour,” says the bloke, and gives me £6.70 back from my tenner. It’s the first time, I think, that I’ve ever set foot in the place, but I’ve been reading about it. In the 18th and early 19th century Market Street was the main food-shopping street in the town, curving round from East Street to the sea (Bartholomew Square was built in 1984, obliterating the southern half of the street). Number 1 Market Street (then Golden Lion Street) was built towards the end of the 18th century, as a townhouse. It was called The Chimneys, and then the Old Chimneys, reputedly because the Prince of Wales’ sweep lived there; by 1782 it had been converted into a pub, run by the splendidly named Amon Batho. In the early 20th century it was renamed The Golden Fleece, a name it kept until 1990. By then, the building had been given a Grade-II listing. The Market Inn is part of a small chain run by the Real London Pub Company. One of their other two pubs, The Black Horse, is also in central Brighton. The other, The Wheatsheaf, is in Fitzrovia, in London. The company seem to specialise in historic buildings, and to cater for the sort of clientele who want fried food – burgers, chicken wings, scampi, that sort of thing – at reasonable prices. The Cornish beer isn’t really to my taste: when I do drink bitters I like a bigger mouthfeel. I’m not that fussed about the atmosphere, either, though I guess at 5.30 on a Monday evening it’s the hour for people popping in for a quickie after work, so there’s no obvious sign of any locals. I also notice a dartboard on the far wall: a sign that the place might have a life of its own a bit later. I do, however, harbour a strong ‘ironic’ appreciation of flock wallpaper, which is lovely to stroke, rather like the feeling to the fingers of a recently applied number two haircut. I do this, surreptitiously, before I leave, thinking that a certain sort of tourist will absolutely love the place. Alex Leith Painting by Jay Collins ....27....
