Michael Portillo is in Sheffield, where he discovers an enormous and beautifully preserved early 20th-century railway steam engine. Heading south into Nottinghamshire, he finds the birthplace of a man then called Bert, better known today as DH Lawrence. The author of Lady Chatterley's Lover opened the eyes of Edwardian society to the working class and challenged attitudes towards sexuality.
