Overview

Operational from 1870 to 9th February 1991. After becoming a listed building and following extensive renovation, the entire engine roundhouse, depot, yard, sidings & associated railway lines were all re-opened between 1989 & 1998 10 years later & are now home to many preserved British railway locomotives.

Staveley Roundhouse was built to a standard Midland square shed design in 1870. After 1948 it became known as Barrow Hill so as not to confuse it with the ex-Great Central shed nearby.Recent Projects include rebuilding the ex Pinxton signal box at the site [http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=PhOeuDV-GnI] [http://tillyweb.biz/gallery/pp/pinxton10.jpg]
