The 1920s family home is like a time machine
A Nottinghamshire attraction that's a far cry from the National Trust's usual stately homes will feature in a series about some of the country's 'hidden treasures'. The episode shows the intricate details that go into preserving Mr Straw's House exactly the way he left it.
He kept the old-fashioned house and its contents as they were, leaving the house to the National Trust when he died in 1990. The 30,000 everyday objects, from tins of sardines to an old packet of Players Navy Cut cigarettes, prove a constant "conservation headache" for volunteers. They take photos before removing them to dust so they can return everything to its rightful place.
