We have three steps up to our front door. These are 8" high (vertical

thinking of putting in a handrail like that at

Bolt a length of 3" x 3" angle to the side of the vertical bricks. It
should be half way up the bricks and should span all the bricks with a
fixing into each the centre of each brick, in order to spread the load.
Fix the rail support to the horizontal surface of the angle. You could
get the angle galved and powder coated, or merely clean and paint it
thoroughly. A local light engineering one-man band would be your best bet.
