Had a wander round Barrow Hill yesterday and got a few decent shots. The place is open to the public on weekends but is usually very quiet meaning you can get some good photos. Not strictly derelict as such, but certainly atmospheric nonetheless. And yes, I have got a bit of an addiction to black and white :D

The roundhouse was closed and abandoned in 1991 but in 1989, the Barrow Hill Shed Society was formed to try and save the works. Unfortunately they had to let the roundhouse close and fall into neglect, with the site suffering from vandalism until they could fulfil their dream. Having the building listed was the first step, and this was granted in February 1991 as a grade 2 listing.

Another five years were to pass with the building falling further into disrepair, with parts of the roof missing until the roundhouse was rescued with the new ownership of the Chesterfield Borough Council.
 
Trains I do like trains especally steam ones. :)

Could not agree more. I am lucky at the moment as each week a steam special is running through where I live. I believe tomorrow it is either Bittern or Sir Lamiel running through. Can't beat a steam engine at speed on the main line. How all those rods and links stay in place at 75mph always amazes me. :)
 
Barrow Hill? Roundhouse? "Mmmm," thought I, "I'm gonna get me some of that Iron Age goodness." Click goes the mouse...

Oh. Trains. Also good. :mrgreen:
