Darling interview
Have read this and find it most interesting, my mother went into service at Eastfield Hall at the age of 16 in the mid 1920's and the trimming of the oil lamps etc mentioned brought back some of her stories. Apparently they were bad people to work for and she didn't stay there long before moving on. They got something like a half day per fortnight off and it was time consuming of that half day for her to get home even to somewhere as near as Radcliffe.
