Kimberley Barracks

Kimberley Barracks is a military installation on Deepdale Road in Preston in Lancashire, England PR1 6PR.

[1] The name of the barracks is based on the battle honour won by the Loyal Regiment (North Lancashire) when it was besieged by Boer forces during the Siege of Kimberley.

[13][15][14] In 2004 the British Army launched an investigation over the release of a photo showing an 'Iraqi prisoner' being urinated on by Queen's Lancashire Regiment soldiers, apparently done on the premises.

The Battalion HQs and HQ Company continue to be the only units based at the location to this day.

[18][19][20][21] In November 2016, the Ministry of Defence announced Fulwood Barracks (located in the North of town) would close by 2022.
