A new rock house built within caves is to be unveiled later at a National Trust property in Staffordshire.
The Martindale Caves, an attraction at the Kinver Rock Houses, have been restored to show what life was like there during the 1930s.
Rock houses at the site were occupied from the 1770s to the 1960s and the new house will tell the story of the Reeves family who lived there until 1937.
The restoration took place following a National Trust consultation.
More visitors and members of public said they wanted to see the 1930s reflected in the caves, compared to other options of around the start of the 20th Century and the 1770s.
A family fun day will be held on Saturday from 11:00 to 16:00 GMT to celebrate the new attraction.
Last year, the Rock Houses had a record number of visitors, exceeding the 12,000 figure for the first time.
Custodian Mike Parker said: "The new house gives us a chance to tell more stories about the people who lived here and add another dimension to the visitor experience."
