Andrew Handyside Ltd of Derby - A dedicated blog to their work around the world.

This blog is dedicated to the work of Andrew Handyside & Co Ltd, the creator of Friar Gate Bridge in Derby. The aim of this blog is simple, People do not realise just how well renowned the work of Handyside was to Victorian life, I intend to show just how much impact he had on the world and why its important that we restore Friar Gate bridge in his honour. I am a Trustee member of "Friends of Friar Gate Bridge", aiming to get this bridge restored.
