In the long ago days which you mention, scaffolding was made from timber. When the cathedrals and castles were being built here in the British Isles in the 11/12/13/14th centuries, the scaffolding was integral to the building, and when they had finished the works, the scaffolding was removed thus leaving holes in the inner face of the wall where the supporting beams had been affixed into them.
They also used to install ramped scaffolding so that they could roll building blocks to higher levels.

Now I would liked to have seen how many of those very older homes were built by just using ladders or in the later 1700's or 1800's were they using what we call scalfaling. I do know I was unable to paint the soffet are of our first home because of the distance from the ground up and at that time I had a real good wooden two stage ladder.
