Barrow Hill Roundhouse & Railway Centre, until 1948 known as Staveley Roundhouse & Train Centre, is a former Midland Railway roundhouse in Barrow Hill, near Staveley and Chesterfield, Derbyshire (grid reference SK435747). Operational for 111 years from 1870 to 1981, the site closed down in 1982 a year later after a period of low usage. After becoming a listed building and following extensive renovation, the entire engine roundhouse, depot, yard, sidings & associated railway lines were all re-opened between 1987 & 1998 11 years later & are now home to many preserved british railway locomotives.

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.

Note: only preserved locomotives are listed below. There are also various locomotives either stored or under repair, which are owned by mainline operating companies.
