Preston Circus Fire Station
Fire station in Brighton, EnglandPreston Circus fire station is an operational fire station and a historic building in Brighton on the south coast of England. It was built in 1938 as the headquarters of the Brighton County Borough Fire Brigade and is now a divisional headquarters for East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service (ESFRS). The site, a former brewery, was first used as a fire station in 1901. The present fire station was built when the fire brigade was professionalising and required larger, more modern accommodation. It has a curved, classical frontage in brick with stone details around the appliance bay doors. It was inaugurated on 21 May 1938. Following a local government reorganisation in the 1970s, the station became part of ESFRS and is its largest and busiest fire station. The building was earmarked for closure in 2009, but the plans were shelved. It underwent restoration and modernisation in 2024 and 2025. It is not a statutory listed building but appears on the city council's local list.
