People forget that DH Lawrence is from Nottingham, let alone from Eastwood.

I do believe that it needs saving, surely they could turn it into a place where schools all across the country could travel and learn about him? I don\'t know, it made me angry to think that it seems nothing is being done. I mean I heard they aim to erect a statue locally, which in turn made me think it could be better spent saving the heritage centre.

I agree Joey. Tbh until I moved here I would never have known anything about  DH Lawrence other than the literiture. To say there is such a wealth of history and interesting sites in Nootinghamshire is an understatement. And as an \'outsider\' it beggars belief that so little is done to promote/preserve it. I sincerely hope that something can be done to save this place.
