Harborne housemaid

Hello,
As a new family tree researcher I've found that my great Grandmother worked as a housemaid in Lordswood road Harborne in the 1891 census. Does anyone know what the pay would be for a domestic servant aged 19. What was this area like at this time?
Thanks for any help you can give me

hi gemma
Sounds as if she was a live in domestic servant and so at that age would be around £10 Per Annum with all found, (food and bed). It could vary from employer to employer
