‘Editing D.H. Lawrence’
2 February until 27 May 2023
Lawrence is an iconic figure in English literature, but also one of the most controversial.
He struggled with publishers throughout his career to express himself in the form he wanted.
This exhibition will trace the ways in which the Eastwood born writer found his writing amended and censored and how he found innovative ways to respond to this.
The exhibition is open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, from 10am till 4pm at the D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum, 8a Victoria St, Eastwood, Nottingham NG16 3AW.
‘Bennerley Viaduct, the Iron Giant of the Erewash Valley’
8 June until 22 July 2023
This pop up exhibition from the Friends of Bennerley Viaduct will give a fascinating insight into Bennerley Viaduct, one of the most iconic structures in Nottinghamshire.
The exhibition charts its incredible history, from the Victorian railway boom, through dereliction, to walking and cycling destination. Learn more about the people and society that created it and the lasting impact it has on the communities Lawrence would have known well.
Alongside the exhibition, there will be a programme of workshops and guided walks, bringing together Lawrence, creative writing, and visits to the viaduct as it is today.
