This makers badge was located on Handyside Bridge Derby (former GNR Derbyshire and Staffordshire Extension route or Derby Friar Gate Line). I would like to thank Derby museum (now museum of making) back in 2011 for letting me see this item as it was in their secure stores.
This Handyside badge is quite large, about 14" across and very heavy made from cast iron. The badge says "A. Handyside & Co Ltd Derby & London".
This would have been fixed to the top of the arch of the bridge, It was made in 1877.
Here is a detailed video I made about this bridge 14 years ago :
