One of the most famous writers of the 20th century was D.H. Lawrence, whose groundbreaking novel Lady Chatterley’s Lover changed English literature for ever. When Lawrence was growing up in Eastwood, this part of Nottinghamshire was dominated by the coal mining industry.
The town is very different these days, but take a peep into the past at The D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum where you can experience late Victorian life or be pampered in the Beauty Lounge at Durban House, the former headquarters of the Barber & Walker Mining Company.
Alternatively, grab a real ale at the Dog & Parrot or a bite to eat at one of many café’s and then visit Giltbrook Retail Park on your way home.
