Description

Fabulous WW1 oak and metal trench ladder stamped Hodgkinson's patent, Ambergate Derby in wonderful antique condition complete with leather strap. This ladder is triple-folding with metal rungs, designed to be easily portable and used by soldiers in the trenches.

Interestingly, the patent for these ladders was held by Frederick Hodkinson, a chauffeur from Derby. While originally designed for vehicles, their compact and portable nature proved invaluable in trench warfare.
