D. H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum
The miner's terraced house where the author of Lady Chatterley's Lover was born, furnished as it would have been in the 1880s, exploring the writer's ties to mining towns.
D. H. Lawrence was born in 1885 in this miner's terraced house in Eastwood. The house is furnished to reflect a miner's family home of the period, with kitchen, parlour and bedrooms. It shows the writer's early life and the mining backdrop that recurs throughout his novels. The town also has a walking trail themed on Lawrence's heritage, linking several houses where he lived. The museum is very small and suits literature lovers. Opening hours are limited, so it is advisable to check in advance. It lies about 13 km from Nottingham.
