As of June 2015,[1] there were 252 locally listed buildings in Brighton and Hove, a coastal city in southeast England. The city council defines locally listed buildings as "buildings, parks and gardens considered to be of special interest, because of their local historic, architectural, design or townscape value". As well as defining the criteria for inclusion on the local list, the council is also responsible for administering the selection and deselection process and updating the list.[1]

The city's local list includes historic buildings such as churches, houses and pubs; structures such as walls, railings and street furniture; and "historic parks and gardens".[2] All periods of the city's development are represented, from agricultural buildings of the 18th century to Brutalist structures of the mid-1960s, including flats, a town hall and a church. Two categories of structure—lampposts and letterboxes—are assessed as a group because the city has many examples with common characteristics.[3] Buildings and structures (also known in this context as "heritage assets") are assessed against criteria related to their historic and architectural interest and significance. Since the list was drawn up in 2015, some buildings have been upgraded to Grade II listed status, giving them national significance, while others have been demolished.
