D H Lawrence..Lived Here for a bit

I usually drive past this many times a day but decided to get on to shanks pony and blip it. I have taken an except from the wiki, my understanding was that it was his Aunts house but they say he rented it.

However for any Lawrence fans here is the view he would have seen every day whilst there :-)

you can see the blue plaque which denotes his time there.


"In 1918-19, D. H. Lawrence and his wife Frieda rented Mountain Cottage, which stands below the B5023 road on the NW side of village as the road descends towards the Via Gellia. Lawrence also reputedly spent time at Woodland Cottage on the opposite side of New Road. While living in Middleton during the bitter winter of 1918-19, Lawrence wrote the short story A Wintry Peacock (published in 1921), which is set in the immediate locality." Wiki.
