I have some brilliant (he said modestly) photos of stairs in a Victorian house we lived in. In black-and-white, they are among the photos in the loft that haven’t been scanned into the computer yet. And you should see my loft – it’s up a ladder and I’m not brilliant at managing those nowadays – at least, not with my hands full. So I’m going to cheat and instead of stairs I’m going to show you some ladders I’ve found recently – after all, they are simply the forerunners of stairs…
A ladder stile - Lleyn peninsula, N Wales
Ladder at the Ambleside Mill on Stock Ghyll (now the Giggling Goose restaurant about which I’ll blog another day)
This climbing frame is called Jacob's Ladder.
Ladder stairs in Otterton Mill, Devon
Notice requesting the public not to use the stairs at Otterton Mill.
Why not visit the
link to other bloggers and see what pictures they have chosen?
Well, I may just be the first to comment, as this is my first day as your new follower.
ReplyDeleteI have a thing for staircases - perhaps because of the invitation they infer 'come along up'.
That's not cheating, because ladders are indeed a kind of stairs.
ReplyDeleteLove the sign :-)
I have a yen to climb the Giggling Goose steps.
ReplyDeleteWonder what's up there and what you can see from the window.

That was very interesting. Right they were the forerunners of steps.

we have a lot of these ladder stiles, surprisingly, they can give the impression that it is quite high on top.
ReplyDeleteI almost posted a similar Jaccob's ladder. My son went to a jungle gym in Australia, and there were lots of adventure challenges.
Thanks for you comment on ABC, it is very interesting to take part in the meme.
I really like your first shot SS. that is a clever way to get over a fence!! lol
ReplyDeleteI like the ladder stile; there's steps therefore it fits the bill I say. Seems very upmarket to me! Also love the Jacob's Ladder.
