The Breach House at Eastwood.

The Breach House was the home of D.H. Lawrence in his early years, after moving from his birthplace on Victoria Street.

People from all over the world have visited the Breach House, including relatives of both DH Lawrence, and Frieda Von Richtofen. A number of notable writers, artists and playwrights have visited and stayed at Breach House. The house has also been a location for two major films, televised dramas and documentaries.

The Breach House is a typical miner's cottage from the 1880s, it was DH Lawrence’s childhood home, and the setting for 'The Bottoms' in his novel, Sons and Lovers. This historic house is free to visit, details of opening times below.
