A time capsule of early 20th-century life, Mr Straw's House is a suburban house in a residential area of Worksop, captured just as it was in the 1920s when it was inhabited by the eccentric Straw family. The house displays an eclectic mix of period costumes, memorabilia, and household items. Walking through the door of Number 7 Blythe Grove is like entering a time capsule, a place where nothing has changed in over 70 years.
