JACOBS LADDER
Jacobs Ladder is the long stair
leading from the back of the Hawes Inn up to the cycle/walkway under
the Forth Bridge. It was originally used for the transfer of rail
passengers to and from the ferry at the Hawes Pier from Newhalls
Station but for many years now it has been a pedestrian link. The
stair fell into disrepair, but after efforts by the Community
Council and City Council, using grants from Almond Neighbourhood
Partnership and Network Rail, work has now been completed to
refurbish the stairs.
JACOBS LADDER REOPENED ON 3 JULY 2009
