Jacob's Ladder, Brisbane

It is a long pedestrian staircase that extends from Edward and Turbot Streets up to Wickham Terrace.

Jacob's Ladder is within King Edward Park and provides the shortest but steepest pedestrian access from the Brisbane central business district to Spring Hill on the escarpment above.

[1] It is on the boundary of the park separating it from an office tower on the north-east, formerly the site of the Brisbane Trades Hall (1891–1984).

[7][8] April 1922 saw representations to fully restore access to the steps following the trades hall construction.

[11] As part of demonstrating reliability captured by photograph by a newspaper, the steep stairs were driven the length by a Whippet motor car in March 1928.
