Eastwood: Lawrence country One of the most famous writers of the 20th century was DH 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 Durban House, the former headquarters of the Barber Walker Mining Company. The D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum is a just short walk away. < back to Market towns
