Mr Straw's House, House museum in Worksop, United Kingdom.

The semi-detached Edwardian residence at 5-7 Blyth Grove contains original furniture, decorations, and household items from the 1920s through the 1990s.

William Straw moved his family to this house in 1923, and after his death in 1932, the interior remained unchanged as his sons maintained their parents' traditions.

The house displays the lifestyle of an early 20th-century middle-class grocer family through preserved wallpapers, carpets, and thousands of everyday objects.

The National Trust offers guided visits for groups of four people maximum on Thursdays and Fridays between March and October, with advance reservations required.

The property contains over 30,000 preserved items including newspapers, food packaging, and household goods spanning seven decades of British domestic life.
