A caedmon.org.uk original photograph
Behind the photographer position above is this store cupboard. Did the chair allow for a few minutes of peace from customers?
Is That Something In The Fridge?
14/04/2010
A caedmon.org.uk original photograph
It was dark, but I thought I saw something in the fridge. Of course, the fridge has been turned off for 14 months.
A Little Out Of Date
14/04/2010
A caedmon.org.uk original photograph
Sure enough, one single Muller light yoghurt, dated 22nd Jan. I was tempted to open the fridge door, but decided against it.
Opposite The Cafe

On a very bright day outside, this shows the seating opposite the servery.

Halfway Down The Same Stairwell

No pictures of the Gentlemen's toilet and the shower room to the right I am afraid.

Not much natural light makes it down here.
And To The Bottom Of The Stairwell
14/04/2010
A caedmon.org.uk original photograph
The door ahead is to the car deck. The doors to the left and right are to the D deck lounge. The white foam on the floor was used to seal all the external doors for the crossing of the North Sea.
The Stairs To One Of The D Deck Lounges
14/04/2010
A caedmon.org.uk original photograph
Through the door to the left on the previous picture (the southmost lounge). The door was locked in recent years, so was not publically accessible.
Bright Yellow Chairs

A caedmon.org.uk original photograph
Turning right from the steps in the previous picture, and through the door, you are met with bright yellow plastic chairs. This picture was taken with no light.

Looking rather worse for wear. Back on the main passenger deck. There were no children's leftjackets either.
Back To The Main Passenger Seating Area
14/04/2010
A caedmon.org.uk original photograph
Another large passenger seating area, this time located behind the serving hatch. At some point in the past, was food served this side as well? It looks that way from the panelling.

A caedmon.org.uk original photograph
The white curved object is the surround of one of Caedmon's windows. Where it was missing was a large pile of salt in between her outer and inner hulls.
Another Room Off The Car Deck
14/04/2010
A caedmon.org.uk original photograph
This is the Chief Engineer's cabin on the forward starboard side of the ship. The two gates were used to seperate the fwd and aft section of the Mezzanine deck when one or both sections were in use.








Thanks to Ned for help with the description.
