Round Foundry, Industrial heritage building in Holbeck, Leeds, England.
The Round Foundry features red brick walls, large arched windows, and seven preserved structures including the Dry Sand Foundry and Green Sand Foundry buildings.
Founded in 1795 by James Fenton, Matthew Murray, David Wood, and William Lister, the foundry manufactured steam engines and locomotives for the Middleton Railway.
The complex now functions as the Round Foundry Media Centre, providing workspace for digital and creative industry professionals in a historical industrial setting.
The foundry development includes restaurants, cafes, and office spaces, with public transportation connections linking it to central Leeds locations.
Engineer Matthew Murray constructed the Salamanca locomotive in the Engine House, which now contains the Engine House Café and professional offices.
