Our Voices did a vast range of different jobs between them, ranging from housekeeping to nannying (both here and abroad), and from farm and marsh work to fishing with the herring fleet.
Others went into engineering and driving heavy machinery, and at least one worked in the boatyards looking after the hire boats and their hirers.
One even became a Pest Control Officer for a time.
