These two maids were photographed in a house in Byfield, Northamptonshire, sometime between 1896 and 1920. Image two shows two female worker More…s at the Royal Gunpowder Factory at Waltham Abbey during World War I pose for a photograph. Use the linked webpage for lots more images of women at work.
