Looking north east across the Linenhall Stables redevelopment site from Linenhall Mews after the demolition of the Stables. The perimeter wall of the stable has been much reduced enabling this view of the site. The redundant stables site is earmarked for redevelopment, and following acts of theft and vandalism the site was cleared in April 2009. The Linenhall Stables were built just after the First World War on the site of the historic Linenhall. The stables served the Roodee racecourse, despite the fact that the horses then had to walk some distance over tarmac roads. In the early 2000s agreement was reached for new state of the art stables to be built on the old gasworks site with access to the racecourse through one of the arches of the famous railway viaduct.
