DH Lawrence mural painted near his Eastwood birthplace

The Broxtowe Borough Council project received £5,400 from the East Midlands Combined County Authority using cash provided by the government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

Teresa Cullen, portfolio holder for leisure and health at the council, said: “Art can make a world of difference to a space, and to people’s mood… and this mural is a fantastic example of that.

“Lawrence is adored by many in Eastwood, and this street art will bring a great deal of joy to those people, and indeed others.

“The piece brightens up the street massively, and it’s wonderful to have it so close to Lawrence’s birthplace – we’re so thankful to Nathan and Ben for creating such an incredible mural.”
