Details: Welcome to the Barrow Hill Engine Shed Society. After many years of hard work by dedicated volunteers, the magnificent Midland Railway roundhouse at Barrow Hill that faced certain demolition now looks forward to a very bright future. We hope you will find something to interest you during your visit to the site of Britain's last operational roundhouse. Only a few years ago it seemed that "our" roundhouse would never see the 21st century - but here we are!

Opening hours
- We are open at weekends between 10:00 and 16:00. Due to the size of the site we would suggest you arrive no later than 15:00. For a small donation we would be pleased to give you a guided tour of the roundhouse. The deltic depot is normally open for viewing most Saturday's.
