Eastwood, Walker St - NG16
In 1891, D.H. Lawrence’s family moved into 8, Walker Street (although the houses were not numbered at the time). Thus “Bertie” (as he was known) lived in "the third house" between the ages of 6-16yrs. The 1901 census showed the following to have been living there:- Arthur, 53yrs, miner; Lydia, 48yrs, wife; Emily, 19yrs, daughter; David Herbert, 15yrs, son; Lettice, 13yrs, daughter; William G., 3yrs, grandson. The impressive views from the house across the fields towards Derbyshire would, it seems, remain in Lawrence's memory for many years and show themselves in many of his works.

Eastwood, View from Walker St - NG16
"Go to Walker Street", D.H. Lawrence once prompted, "and stand in front of the third house and look across at Crich on the left, Underwood in front and High Park Woods and Annesley on the right. I lived in that house from the age of six to the age of eighteen, and I know that view better than any in the world ... that's the country of my heart."

Eastwood War Memorial
The memorial was originally sited on a plot of land near to the Cemetery Chapel off Church Street (approximately 1 km away), but was moved to its present, more prominent, location in 1978. It was further transformed in 2010 with the addition of the wall and panels at the rear, the latter displaying names of victims of the First World War not recorded on the original obelisk. The railings round the obelisk were erected at the same time, replacing chain link fencing. The original elements of the memorial, originally dedicated in 1921, are Listed Grade II.
