The original barracks were built in 1793 and extended southwards to include what is now Image Over the years various parts were added and included housing to the west, see Image At the end of the 1980s the southern part was sold off and became a retail park whilst the housing was sold to the council. All former buildings, with one or two exceptions, were demolished with this building constructed in the section to the north for use by the Territorial Army who continued using the site until the turn of the century. Since then the site has been derelict awaiting development, a few schemes were put forward but nothing materialised until 2014 when it was announced that the neighbouring University of Brighton will take it over and build new faculty buildings and student residences. The houses behind are part of Saunders Park View beyond which is the railway line and west of that some buildings are visible in the postwar Hollingdean estate.

Looking north on the former A27 heading out of Brighton on the road to Lewes. The roof of the former Preston Barracks can be seen behind the trees. The barracks once owned extensive tracts of land in the area but have been sold off to become DIY superstores. The last remaining building is now for sale for major redevelopment leaving the white building to the left as the sole building associated with the military. It was given the name Preston Barracks due to it being in the parish rather than the vicinity of the village. The white building behind the former barracks is part of the University of Brighton.
