 The Workhouse & Infirmary
 Southwell, NG25 0PT
Built in 1824 as a last resort for many people, The Workhouse in Southwell is one of the best preserved and most complete in England. As the site developed, the Infirmary was built in 1871 to care for those deemed too ill to be housed in the workhouse. Here you can glimpse the beginnings of an emerging healthcare system as social care evolved.
Interactive media, personal objects, and the stories of those who lived and worked here help to bring history to life. Seasonal events, walks and costumed characters will take visitors on a captivating journey into the past.

Mr Straw's House
 Worksop, S81 0JG
Most National Trust properties inspire thoughts of historic mansions, wealth, and grandeur. However, tucked away in a private cul-de-sac in Worksop, you’ll find Mr Straw’s House, a preserved 1920s period home of a grocer's family, virtually unchanged since the Straws moved there in 1923.
A true step back in time, visitors will discover more about the family who refused to modernise through spending time in the display rooms, hearing nostalgic stories, and seeing thousands of treasured possessions and ordinary domestic items exactly where their owners left them.
