Photos 7th June

100 year old King Cod

a press for filling the barrels with cod

seals from letters - some were marked in the 11th and 13th centuries dates 

The Manager's bed - in a cupboard so that the doors could be closed and keep in any warmth

the 8 apprentices slept in these four beds - the doors were closed by the Journey man each night and not opened until he did so next morning.  The journey man had a similar bed but his had a wooden door so that the apprentices could make his bed of a morning without coming into his room.
the Manager's office 

 behind these cupboard doors was the Manager's secret staircase up to his bedroom 

the Journey mans eating area-  notice the beer barrel under the table

one kettle and one towel - the bathroom

the Journey mans wardrobe - circular so it could be rolled onto the ship

a lovely old door handle

The Traders living quarters


this is one of the little shops set up among the old ware houses - it sells hand embroidered items.

St Marys


another pretty street in Bergen
