D. H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum

There are a few original items from Lawrence's family; the artefacts are as close to the 1880s as possible and from Nottinghamshire to make the contents as authentic for the period.

There is a small exhibition of Lawrence's early original watercolour paintings and a DVD room that starts the tour providing an introduction to his life in Eastwood and thereafter.

In 2015, the Council voted to close the building and merge the Centre with the Birthplace Museum as a money-saving measure.

[1] The centre contained an exhibition on the social history of Eastwood during the time that the writer lived there, including information on the educational system, mining, trams, retail along with D. H. Lawrence and the people who were affiliated with him.

In addition there was an art gallery, a bistro, conference rooms, civil wedding, funeral, birthday and education facilities.
