ITV Border, Brunel Way
The original name "Border Television" was changed in 2006, not long after the business became part of ITV plc. For background information, see
Image .
In its later years the station's main output was local news, including the popular magazine programme "Lookaround" (commonly referred to as "Border Crack 'n' Deekaboot"). A big campaign to keep its production in Carlisle could not stop ITV from transferring operations to Gateshead, now the centre for a merged Tyne Tees and Border regional news service.
The last broadcast from this studio was on 24 February 2009. 51 jobs were lost at Border; 13 staff were retained to cover the area's news, with a much smaller new base at Kingstown, Carlisle.
These studios at Durranhill were sold, and demolished in 2010 - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2219886

Demolition of Border TV Studios
The premises were vacated by ITV Border in 2009 (see Geograph photos http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2219850 and http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2219833 ) and bought by Carlisle City Council.
The sign says "Durranhill Industrial Estate Regeneration Scheme" - a partnership between Carlisle City and Cumbria County Councils, supported by the Northwest Development Agency.
They are hoping to attract new businesses to boost the local economy and employment.

Border Television Studios
Border Television, a regional independent station, started broadcasting from this purpose-built centre at Durranhill in 1961. Transmissions covered Cumberland, Westmorland, southern Scotland, parts of Northumberland, and later the Isle of Man.
Since 2000 the business was sold twice, and following a merger in 2004 it became part of ITV plc. The latter restructured its regional news provision in 2009, when cost-cutting measures included the merger of Border with its neighbour Tyne Tees. Local news for the Border region is now broadcast from Gateshead.

St Elisabeth's Church, Harraby, Carlisle
Built I believe in the late 1950s or early 60s with complete lack of style, at least externally. It looks more like a fire station than a church.
