Handyside Bridge, Grade II listed tied-arch bridge in Derby, England.
The Handyside Bridge spans 140 feet across the River Derwent with two bow-shaped wrought iron trusses forming its main structural elements.
Built in 1878 by Andrew Handyside and Company, this railway bridge served the Great Northern Railway Derbyshire Extension until its closure in 1968.
The structure represents Victorian engineering excellence and forms part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, connecting industrial heritage sites.
The bridge now functions as a pedestrian crossing, accessible from North Parade or the Derwent Riverside walk, leading to established walking paths.
During its initial testing phase, the bridge demonstrated its strength by supporting six locomotives with a combined weight of 432 tons.
