Eastwood, Lawrence Heritage Museum - NG16
A view of one side of Durban House from the Mansfield Road Recreation Ground. This museum is situated on Mansfield Road on the corner of its junction with Greenhills Road. Durban House was built in 1896 for the Barber Walker mining company. It once housed the wages office for Brinsley Colliery, the colliery where D.H. Lawrence's father worked and it was here that the young D.H. (”Bert”) Lawrence would sometimes be sent to collect his father’s wage packet. Later on the house was turned into a mining institute, with a concert hall, billiard table and a library, before being converted into flats. More recently the house was left empty for several years, whereas nowadays it holds many of the Lawrence historical collections.
