The D. H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum

Visits to the Birthplace Museum at 8a Victoria Street are by timed tours where visitors can learn about family life in the mining community which shaped Lawrence's formative years, see rooms where the family lived and view personal items and some of Lawrence's original watercolours.

28 Garden Road, Eastwood

The Lawrence family lived here from 1887-1891 when it was known as 57, The Breech and a fictionalised account of it appears in Sons and Lovers as ‘The Bottoms’. The ground floor of the house has been restored in a style appropriate for the late 19th century and is open by appointment.

There are some photographs of the house on Tony Shaw’s blog.
