Description
The D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum is a Victorian working-class house that displays the rooms, furnishings, and everyday objects from the writer's family life. The house preserves the original structure of a coal miner's dwelling with authentic details from the late 1800s.
History
Lawrence was born in this house on Victoria Street in 1885, where his family lived as part of the working class. The building was later converted into a museum to preserve the life of that era and its influence on the writer.
