Preserved locomotive roundhouse - the only problem is that it's not round. Spent ages looking for a round building! The red drum in the foreground is from the Robey steam winder formerly at Westthorpe Colliery and now in open-air store at Pleasley. The winder didn't really fit in at Barrow Hill and I'm sure Pleasley will be a better long term home.
