Preston Barracks, Lewes Road, Brighton
Preston Barracks, Lewes Road, Brighton
A view of the old officers mess which still stands at the northern end of the former barracks complex. Originally built in 1793 the barracks once occupied an extensive area to the south but these were sold in the late 1980s to become TQ3206 : Pavilion Retail Park, Lewes Road, Brighton with former army housing sold to the council at the same time, see TQ3206 : Saunders Park View, Brighton. The Territorial Army occupied the remaining northern area until they left at the turn of the century. Since then the site has remained derelict. In 2014 the neighbouring University of Brighton announced it was going to take over the site and build new faculty buildings and student residences.
