Monument record MYO3379 - Roundhouse, constructed 1864 (demolished)
Summary
Roundhouse 3 – with 18 stalls and a 45 ft. Turntable - was erected to the west of Roundhouse 2 in 1864. Historic photographs show that this had a relatively elaborate superstructure, each radiating road having an individual ribbed roof with gable end and its main circular central roof surmounted by a large weather vane with locomotive design. The 1864 shed – Roundhouse 3 – was originally used by the North Eastern Railway (NER) but from 1879 was used by the Midland Railway to provide accommodation for its engines under an agreement with the NER. After 1923 Roundhouse 3 was used solely by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), until its closure in 1961 and demolition in 1963, by which time only its walls were standing, the roof having been removed as unsafe.
