Jacobs Ladder: Ramsgate

Jacob's Ladder was constructed In 1754, during the building of Ramsgate harbour. A timber staircase called `Jacob's Ladder, named after Jacob Stead, the carpenter who built it, was made at the end of the west pier for access to the harbour works from the cliff top. It sadly fell into decay and disrepair and the present stone staircase replaced it in 1826 and still used today
