"The security of the ladder depends on the dog which is a slender steel hook.

"A hole is nicked out of the chimney brickwork a mere one inch deep. Into it goes a wooden plug and then the dog is hammered home.

"If it's not properly done, then the ladder isn't secure. And each man does his own laddering.

"This is his lifeline and he wants his lifeline to be in his own hands."

I love this bit of brickwork in the Garnethill area of Glasgow. It's a glazed brick wall with a curved corner transitioning to a sharp right-angle mid-way through a single brick, and it's apparently called a Lark's Tongue. I've no idea if it bears any resemblance to an actual lark's tongue!

We often visit our granddaughter who lives with her Mum in Sale and stay for a few days in a cottage that was probably built in the 1770s and sits on the towpath of the Bridgewater Canal at Preston Brook. The building of the Bridgewater Canal kick-started the Industrial Revolution and the cottage was built at what was to become its junction with the Trent and Mersey Canal. There's a whole lot of history there which I'm beginning uncover in this article.
