The Roundhouse in Sheepcote Street is seen to the left of
the Birmingham Canal which was built 1840. Richard Foster in his excellent book
Birmingham New Street - Expansion and Improvement 1860 to 1923 describes
the scene as thus. "The Roundhouse, Sheepcote Street, Birmingham, West Midlands
- The Roundhouse, to the left of the Birmingham Canal, was built in 1840 as a
mineral and coal wharf for the London & North Western Railway. It is an
asymmetrical horseshoe design comprising stables and stores of red brick with
stone trim".
