I bought this 1873 book from an antique shop, it lists lots of stuff around the world made by the Derby firm Andrew Handyside who made Friar Gate bridge. It has full details on lots of their bridges such as Trent Bridge in Nottingham and I thought I would have a go at bringing the book to life.
Hope you enjoy.

The book is a first edition of "Works in Iron - Bridge and Roof Structures" by Ewing Matheson of the firm Andrew Handyside And Co., Engineers, Derby and London. Published by E & F.N. Spon 1873.
It lists 60 examples of bridges and roofs they have made around the world.
I also have the 1877 Second edition.
