Durban House Heritage Centre

Once the headquarters of Barber, Walker & Co, major local coal company owners, Durban House is now an interactive exhibition space, exploring a typical day in the life of the Lawrence’s, a working class mining family. It is 5 minutes walk from the Birthplace Museum and coach parking is available on site.

Birthplace Museum

This is the house where D.H. Lawrence, one of the 20^thcentury’s most influential writers, was born in 1885. It has been authentically recreated as a late Victorian miner’s cottage, just as it would have been when the Lawrence family lived here over 120 years ago; in fact it almost feels that they could come back home at any moment.
