The rear of a Victorian end-of-terrace property once known as No.57, The Breach but now known as 28, Garden Road. This 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 self-employed miner), his mother, two brothers and a sister. The family paid sixpence extra per week to live here because of its larger gardens and end of terrace position. It provided the setting for 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.
