Closed Overturn the decision to sell off Preston's historic Fulwood Barracks.

Closed on

The decision to announce the end of the home of the Duke of Lancaster's regiment as part of the biggest sell-offs of military land any Government has ever announced has been met with shock, surprise and anger by the people of Lancashire.

The Grade II listed building has been home of the Queen's Lancashire Regiment for nearly 150 years and now houses four Infantry battalions. It also houses the popular Lancashire Infantry Museum, the largest Regimental archive in the north of England.
The Barracks is an important part of the history and culture of Preston and it is a vital link between the local regiment and the population.
