Carlisle Enterprise Centre (back of building)
Constructed in 1937 as an extension to the older buildings of the City of Carlisle Electricity Undertaking, which front on to James Street and Nelson Bridge (see Image ). Electricity generation had been moved from here to Willowholme power station in 1927, though offices, stores and a maintenance depot remained at this site. It was later owned by Norweb. In 1987 the buildings were converted into a business complex - The Carlisle Enterprise Centre. Offices, workshops, meeting rooms etc are rented out by Carlisle City Council. An application to list the site was turned down by Historic England in 2015. The decision summary http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=1425470&resourceID=7 contains information on the history and condition of the buildings. It says this rear extension is in the Moderne style (Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streamline_Moderne ).

A Victorian power station, built by J W Laing for Carlisle Corporation. There is a dated inscription above the door 'George White Esquire Mayor 1899' - see photo http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5234337 . The building, located in James Street, was expanded in 1910-11 as demand for electricity increased. Generation of electricity ceased at this site when a new power station was opened at Willowholme in 1927, though it remained in use as an electricity depot for several more decades. An extension was built at the rear in 1937 see Image . In 1987 the buildings were converted for their current function as a business complex - The Carlisle Enterprise Centre - where offices, workshops, meeting rooms etc are rented out by Carlisle City Council. An application to have the site listed was turned down by Historic England in 2015. The decision summary http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=1425470&resourceID=7 contains information on the history and condition of the buildings.
