Artist Dennis Severs moved into 18 Folgate Street in the late 70s and embarked on a project to turn each of the ten rooms in the house into time capsules, each reflecting a different historic style.
The house charts the story of the fictional Jervis family who is imagined to have lived at the house from the 18th to the early 20th century.
Each room is arranged to seem as if the occupants have only just left and Sever’s described the house as a 'still-life drama.'
