National Trust: Mr Straw's House - From Top to Bottom
Working for the National Trust, Active Image was originally commissioned to produce a short introduction for visitors to this historical property. Following that project, we compiled much more of the extensive footage into a 50 minute documentary for sale in the National Trust gift shop or directly from us (visit activeimage.tv for more information).
Through interviews with people who knew William and Walter Straw well, this programme comes closer to an understanding of their personalities with stories and anecdotes revealing the many different facets of their lives. It also provides a close-up view of seldom seen artefacts, and previously unseen family photographs, which make Mr Straw's House such a unique record of a bygone era.

When William Straw, a grocer, died suddenly in 1932, his grief-stricken widow and sons decided to leave their house exactly as he knew it.
Decorated in 1923, the redbrick Worksop semi then remained just as it was until the last Straw to live there, Mr Straw's son William junior, died and bequeathed it to the National Trust in 1991.
The rooms are painted in the dark colours fashionable at the time, gilt-framed oil paintings hang from picture rails, and the larder is full of Bovril and tinned sardines.
Owned by the National Trust since the family of grocers who lived there passed it on, it is one of the Trust's more unusual properties, and all the more fascinating for it.
There are no expensive treasures or rare antiques; instead the house, known as Mr Straw's House, offers an authentic glimpse into how an ordinary British family lived a century ago.
Built in 1905, it was the home of the Straws, a grocer family headed by William Straw senior and his wife, Florence.
