The Derby firm Andrew Handyside who made Friar Gate bridge in Derby also made many hundreds of other bridges of many different sizes around the world such as this footbridge located at Whatstandwell railway station, Derbyshire, UK which was built in 1894.

Whatstandwell railway station serves the villages of Whatstandwell and Crich Carr in Derbyshire, England. It is a stop on the Derwent Valley line, which runs between Derby and Matlock. The station is owned by Network Rail and managed by East Midlands Railway.
