Mr Straw's House

This typical bay-fronted Edwardian semi-detached house was built in 1905. It has survived virtually unaltered since 1932 because of the eccentricity of the Straw family who lived here. The interior is an outstanding example of bourgeois decorating of the 1920s, with surviving wallpaper and painted graining. Every detail has been preserved, down to the calendar on the wall of the front parlour.

Mr Straw's House, Nottinghamshire

This collection has 23,732 items online

A 1920s suburban family home caught in time. Very little has changed or been removed since the Straws took up residence in 1923. The interior decoration and collection of objects reflects the taste and lifestyle of this local well-to-do grocer family. There is currently a cataloguing and photography project underway at the house which some of the volunteers are involved in. With such a large collection of everyday objects in a conventional 1920's family home there are always new stories to discover and tell. Throughout 2024 and 2025 open seasons you can learn more of the family through their hobbies, photographs and technology.
