A new country park in Nottinghamshire is being proposed to honor author D.H. Lawrence and the area's mining heritage. The park would connect the D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum to two nature reserves, preserving the region's cultural and literary significance. The park would be named after Lawrence, who was born and raised in Eastwood, and would link sites related to mining and Lawrence's upbringing.
A new Nottinghamshire country park could be formed to memorialise world-famous author D.H. Lawrence and his birthplace's proud mining history . The planned country park would link the D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum in Eastwood to Colliers Wood Nature Reserve and Brinsley Headstocks Nature Reserve, which Broxtowe Borough Council leader Milan Radulovic said would preserve the area's mining and literary heritage.
Mr Radulovic wants to name the prospective park after world-renowned Nottinghamshire author Lawrence, who was born in Eastwood and grew up in the town. The famous poet's dad Arthur and granddad Bert worked at the Brinsley pit, which closed when the coal ran out in 1934, but was still in use as an access shaft until 1970. These sites would be linked to Colliers Wood, which was opened as Moorgreen Colliery in 1865 and closed in 1985. "It's incredibly important that we remain committed to protecting and preserving our cultural heritage. The mining industry, through the work of Lawrence and others, has made Eastwood famous across the world," the council leader said
