Eastwood & Southwell

Last week end my friends E & J from W came over here. Friday we had planned to meet up at Chatsworth House but the weather was awful so we stayed in Nottingham. Saturday it was sunny again and we went to Eastwood to visit D.H. Lawrence's birthplace and Durban House which is a Victorian museum. Being a Saturday both were closed !?
We had lunch in Southwell where we visited the Workhouse. It was a place for paupers to live off the street. Very interesting.
