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 Image with former army housing sold to the council at the same time, see Image 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.

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.
