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.
Barrow Hill Village Road Closure
Access to the Roundhouse via Hall Lane remains closed this weekend. If you are visiting us and wish to avoid a lengthy diversion please use the A619 from the M1 or Chesterfield town centre and then turn onto Troughbrook Road/Works Road (indicated by a brown tourist sign). This will avoid the road closure completely.
