George Eliot's Childhood Home

A Memory of Nuneaton.

Griffiths House Hotel was the home of Mary Ann Evans,(George Eliot) She based inher writings on life in Nuneaton. If you know the area well and then read her books you can relate to Nuneaton quite easily.
The Work House or the College as it was known, was part of the George Eliot Hospital in College Street.
Nuneaton,like it's people are very welcoming and kind. I was penniless when I first came to live there in 1967. I had'nt enough money for Tea,Milk and sugar but the shopkeeper said I could owe him the shilling. The shop was a typical corner store on the corner of Attleborough Road and Seymour Road, still there today but different owners of course.
Such kindness sums up the folks of this market town.

I will write more shortly.
