The Derby firm Andrew Handyside who made Friar Gate bridge in Derby also made other things such as Forges, I made a special trip to Underfall Yard workshop in Bristol last year to see some which are still in use today.

I would like to say a massive thankyou to the staff their for opening up the workshop for me to see them as it was closed when I visited.

See my post about this on my Andrew Handyside blog :
