This Victorian end-of-terrace property - once known as No.57, The Breach but now known as 28, Garden Road - is where D.H.Lawrence lived as a toddler between 1887-91. He had contracted tuberculosis as an infant and had not been expected to live, thus this was his second home. He lived here with his father (a butty man, a self-employed foreman miner), his mother, two brothers and a sister. It is also the setting of the Morrel's house in his novel "Sons and Lovers". The ground floor is a private museum and the upper floors are a holiday rental property. Greenhills Road lies in the distance.
