An Evening Ride to climb Jacob’s Ladder Tuesday 25 August 1925

An  evening ride to the woods of Anglezarke, to find buried deep in the woods the little known ‘Jacob’s Ladder’.  Rising up a quarry face in three sections, with a well near the top, it sounds quite a unique attraction to young cyclists but alas no trace yet remains, although I have searched for it on more than one occasion.  Perhaps the intervening 90 years has something to do with not finding it !  In any event, to climb a long ladder on a vertical quarry face less than a week after a doctor signs you off with the admonishment ‘Just knock about a bit’, seems to be flying in the face of caution.
