Built as Brunswick Market, the building had become a riding academy by 1840 and in 1875 was taken over by Mr Dupont's Riding Academy. Subsequently it was used as a warehouse, part of it being a bacon smokery. In the late 1970s attempts were made to convert it into an arts centre; at time of Survey the building was vacant.
