I visited this site on Sunday, after remembering about it from driving past.
I realise this place has been posted before, but not for a few years. I think people had been
talking about it being demolished... safe to say,some of the buildings have been renovated into
apartments and town houses (which are mostly empty due to their price).

A brief history, stolen from Wikipedia: Winston Barracks was built in the 1930's to
accommodate the Depot of the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles). Instead of housing the Cameronians,
26 Primary Training Centre was established at Winston Barracks. The nearby racecourse was utilised
during the war as a training area, for overflow camp accommodation and for practice trench-digging.
In 1994, the Ministry of Defence relinquished all control of the site and sold it to a
development company.
In 2000, four of the buildings were listed: the Sergeants' Mess and the Accommodation
Block were protected at category B, while the Officers' Mess and Guardhouse
were protected at category C(s).

In 2008, planning permission was granted for the demolition of all of the barracks buildings,
with the exception of the four listed buildings, and construction of 348 houses on the site.
The four main buildings were to be converted into 45 luxury apartments. As part of the redevelopment,
the conversion of the category B listed "Sandhurst" Accommodation Block has created 20 townhouses
and 16 two-bedroom apartments. The former Sergeants' Mess is a now a luxury detached house.



I apologize for not knowing what this building was used for, so if anyone knows, feel free to comment.
