Operational from 1870 to 1991, it was closed after a period of low usage. After becoming a listed building and following extensive renovation, the roundhouse and associated lines were re-opened in 1998 and are now are home to many preserved locomotives.

[edit] Overview
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.
