Domestic Service between the Wars
Two months after my 14th birthday, I was put on a train and off I went to work in Cadogan Square. I was under the impression that this was a privilege.
Between the wars, well over a million people in Britain were still employed as servants. David Wade talks to some of this army of housemaids, kitchenmaids, laundrymaids and butlers - as well as to their employers - in an attempt to re-create a world which has now vanished.
