The building behind the chevrons is one side of a rectangular yard, originally part of Blackwell House Farm. The block was converted to stabling when Carlisle Racecourse relocated here from the Swifts in 1904. The white house (No.68 Durdar Road) had been boarded up for some years when this photo was taken. New stable facilities were opened at the southern end of the racecourse in 2006. These old buildings were redundant, and were demolished in autumn 2017 (see Image). The site will be redeveloped with housing.
