Building record MDR11068 - Barrow Hill Engine Shed, Barrow Hill, Staveley

Barrow Hill Engine Shed. A 24 road roundhouse radiating from a central turntable, located off the Midland Railway's Springwell branch. Construction commenced in July 1869 and it replaced an earlier depot located within Staveley Works complex. After abandonment in the early 1990s it was spot-listed as a rare surviving example of a roundhouse and a voluntary society has subsequently been formed dedicated to its restoration and use. In 1999 the colliery engine from Westthorpe Colliery, Killamarsh, was stored here. (1)
