Location; On the east side of the Springwell Branch, west of Barrow Hill Station.
A brick built square 1RH shed with a slated multi-pitched roof, located at SK41337545 and opened by the Midland Railway in 1870. It was re-roofed in 1938, 1958 and 1997, latterly in corrugated sheeting. The facilities included a ramped coaling stage and water tank. It closed to steam on October 5th, 1965 and to diesels in 1987, although it remained in use as a Stabling Point until February 11th, 1991.
  As the last surviving operational roundhouse in the country it was successfully granted listed building status and sold to Chesterfield Council, which leased it out to the Barrow Hill Engine Shed Society in 1997. Following extensive repairs and renovations it re-opened as a preservation centre on July 18th, 1998 and is now also utilized as a maintenance base for diesel locomotive operators.
