edwardian - freud museum 
The Freud Museum, at 20 Maresfield Gardens in Hampstead, was the home of Sigmund Freud and his family when they escaped Austria following the Nazi annexation in 1938. It remained the family home until Anna Freud, the youngest daughter, died in 1982. The centrepiece of the museum is Freud's study, preserved just as it was during his lifetime.

Edwardian -mr straws house
Mr Straw's House in 7 Blyth Grove, Worksop is a hidden treasure, a National Trust property unlike any other in its ownership. A 1920s house belonging to a world where time has stood still For  60 years the family threw little away and chose to live without many of the modern comforts we take for granted.
Photographs, letters, Victorian furniture and household objects spanning 100 years can still be seen exactly where their owners left them.
