Madge Hart talks to ETHEL who was once eighth housemaid in a stately home.
Ethel worked at Knowsley just before the First World War. She describes the intricate and enormous organisation of the domestic arrangements there and goes on to talk about other jobs she held subsequently. She concludes that, far from being degrading, jobs in domestic service such as hers which demanded ' quite a good background ' to start with, gave a girl social experience which enabled her to ' go anywhere.'
