The foundation for the World's first roundhouse built by Robert Stephenson for the London & Birmingham Railway in Birmingham has been rediscovered at the site planned for the Curzon Street Station for High Speed 2 in Birmingham, England. Originally built in 1837 it was rediscovered during preliminary excavations for the new Station to be built adjacent to the Original and still standing 1838 Station.

Wished to keep the photo and did not resist the temptation to improve it:
"Blimey! So that's where the bleedin' thing went!"
