Roundhouse Birmingham, Grade II* listed building in Birmingham, England

The Roundhouse features a crescent shape constructed from red brick and slate, with two gatehouse buildings added in 1885 near the Birmingham Canal.

Built in 1874 through a design competition by architect William Henry Ward, the structure served as a local authority depot, stables, and stores.

The National Trust and Canal River Trust transformed this Victorian depot into a center for urban discovery through walking, cycling, and water-based tours.

Located at 1 Sheepcote Street, the Roundhouse offers step-free access to public areas and maintains a visitor center with free entry.

The building's horseshoe layout and position between canal and street created an efficient system for horse-drawn cart operations and stock control.
