Welcome to Barrow Hill

Barrow Hill Roundhouse is the last surviving railway roundhouse in the United Kingdom with an operational turntable. Built in 1870, it was threatened with demolition in 1991 when the site was closed by British Rail. It was saved by a group of dedicated volunteers who have transformed it into a unique railway museum and events venue.

We hope that the glimpse this website gives into this fascinating building will encourage you to visit us and we look forward to welcoming you.

The Roundhouse museum is closed for the winter and will reopen to the public on the weekend of 4^th and 5^th March 2023.

Commercial operations continue as usual and visitors should contact the company they are visiting to arrange access. Visit our events page for 2023 events
