This is a photograph of Brigid Reilly who worked as a maid in Randlestown House from 1914 to 1916. She remembered how her brother, George, a coachman on the estate, collected 15 or 16 women from Navan on a long cart every morning at 8 o’clock. They worked in the fields until 6 o’clock every evening. “I remember them singing as they were going off to the fields. It was hard enough work for women, there was a lot of stooping in it.”
