The Conservation Centre

The Conservation Centre (former Midland Railway Goods Office), Whitechapel
1874, extended 1878
Grade II

Designed for the Midland Railway, this powerful building was designed by William Culshaw and Henry Sumners. 

The main façade to Crosshall Street follows the convex curve of the street. On the Victoria Street frontage are carved panels with coats of arms and the names of Midland Railway stations. 

The building was converted as the Conservation Centre for NMGM and opened in 1995. It now contains conservation studios and museum workshops, and is open to the public for displays, guided tours and demonstrations.
