Here is an example of middle-class life in 1930s England. My grandfather was a doctor in a smallish Somerset town. He had served in the Indian Medical Service (part of the Indian Army but it also looked after civilian health and my grandfather had a district for which he was the only medical officer). By the age of 50, he had saved up enough to buy a practice and a good sized house to keep it in, the surgery and dispensary were in the house with a direct entrance from the street.

He was able to afford to send my mother, her sister and brothers to private schools, though the war broke out before any were old enough to go to university. Before the war, they had a live-in maid, who assisted my grandmother with the cooking. During and after the war they had someone come in regularly for cleaning, but my grandmother did all the cooking.
