Background
History
Staveley Roundhouse was built to a standard Midland Railway square shed design in 1870, with a central turntable under cover. After 1948, it became known as Barrow Hill so as not to confuse it with the ex-Great Central shed nearby. It was operational from 1870 until 9 February 1991.
