The Raffles about 1934. I believe this to be Green Lane with Marks Ave. on the right but am willing to be corrected.

Thanks to Moylesey for this info.

This is the earliest know team photgraph from the 1904-05 season. This would mean that the photograph was probably taken at Millholme Bank (near The Currock Inn), they moved to Devonshire Park (where Trinity playing fields are now) in 1905 and to Brunton Park in 1909.

This would also be the first season they were known as Carlisle United having changed their name from Shaddongate United in 1904.
