York Historic Environment Record

There are four quadrangles of 48 stables each along Tadcaster Road, that were constructed by the York Race Committee from 1922 to 1930 and are still in use. Two to the East was designed by renowned York architect W. H. Brierley in 1929 and remains his only example of this type of building. One stable to the SW contains a bowling green used by Dringhouses Bowling Club, opened by Noel Terry in 1929. Some original fittings remain although most of the stable doors were replaced when Royal Ascot came to York. The stables were a designated mortuary in WW2, commemorated by a plaque. They are of historic significance due to their connection to the racecourse and have high community value being home to a historic bowling club.
