Eastwood, Gdn Rd - NG16
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.

28 Garden Road, Eastwood
Although basically identical to other houses in this neighbourhood, known as The Breach, this particular house is Listed Grade II. This is because it is one of the addresses at which the family of D H Lawrence lived, between 1887 and 1891. The house is now a study centre and has been furnished in contemporary style.

Eastwood, Gdn St - NG16
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.

Durban House
Large house situated on Mansfield Road, which together with Image a short distance away makes up an interesting exhibition of the life and times of D H Lawrence. The building itself was built in 1896 as the administration offices for Barber Walker & Co, who ran the coal mines in the area until nationalisation in 1947. http://www.lawrenceseastwood.co.uk/durbanhouse.htm Image

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.
